platforms
Where trains arrive
Platforms are raised surfaces you stand on—a stage, a train station's loading area, a diving board.
The sense extends to anything that serves as a foundation for action: a political platform (a party's stated positions), a platform for launching a career.
In computing and business, platform dominates: an operating system is a platform, and companies like Facebook or Uber are platforms connecting users with content or services.
Platform shoes have thick soles that elevate the wearer.
