lazaret
Vessel's isolation ward
A lazaret is a quarantine station for maritime travelers, or a storage space in a ship's stern.
The word comes from Lazarus, the biblical figure associated with disease and resurrection.
Historically, lazarets were buildings where those suspected of carrying plague or other contagious diseases were isolated before being allowed into port.
The nautical sense—a small compartment for stores—developed separately.
Also spelled lazarette or lazaretto.
