boarding
Entering a vessel
Boarding is the act of getting onto a vehicle for travel—a plane, ship, train, or bus.
Airlines announce boarding by zones; cruise passengers await boarding times.
Boarding also means covering with boards: They boarded up the windows before the hurricane.
In hockey, boarding is the penalty for violently checking an opponent into the boards.
A boarding school provides room and board for students who live on campus.
