The word "anchorage" comes from the Old French word "ancreage," which itself comes from the Latin "ancora" meaning "anchor." The word evolved to describe the place where an anchor is dropped and a ship can safely rest, hence "anchorage" referring to a sheltered area in a harbor or waterway suitable for anchoring. The word first appeared in English in the 14th century, reflecting the importance of maritime trade and navigation in the language's development.
