Etymology
The term 'enplaning' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'en-' which comes from Old French and signifies 'to cause to be in' or 'to put in', and the root 'plane', which refers to an aircraft. The concept of boarding an aircraft gained prominence in the early 20th century with the advent of commercial aviation. The practice has evolved over the decades, particularly with advancements in airport design and boarding technology. Initially, the term was used primarily in aviation regulations and industry jargon, but it has gradually become more common in everyday language as air travel expanded. Enplaning is closely related to other aviation terms such as 'deplaning', which describes the process of exiting an aircraft.
