Definition of mooring

mooringnoun

neo đậu

/ˈmɔːrɪŋ//ˈmʊrɪŋ/

The word "mooring" comes from the Old English word "mōr," meaning "marsh" or "moor." Over time, the term evolved to refer to a place where ships could be securely anchored. The "ing" suffix denotes the act of securing something, creating the word "mooring" which signifies the action of making a ship fast or secure. This connection between land and sea reflects the historical importance of marshlands and coastal areas for ship anchoring and mooring.
