Word origin
The word 'embark' originated from the French word 'embarquer', which means 'to put or take on board a ship'. It was first used in English in the early 16th century. The prefix 'em-' signifies 'into' or 'on', and 'bark' refers to a ship. Over time, the term broadened to encompass the idea of beginning a journey or project.
