Etymology

The word 'enplaned' derives from the prefix 'en-', meaning 'to cause to be in', combined with the word 'plane', which refers to an aircraft. The term emerged in the aviation industry as air travel became more prevalent in the 20th century. The prefix element comes from Middle English, while 'plane' has roots in the Latin word 'planum', which means 'flat surface'. Over time, as air travel became a common method of transportation, terms related to boarding and embarking on flights, such as 'enplaned', were adopted within airline operations and airport vernacular. The growth of global travel has further solidified the usage of this term.
