What does APORT mean in Scrabble?
adverb
nautical
Toward the port, or left, side of a ship, especially as a helm command.
A ship's officer shouts aport to make the bow swing away from the direction a plain left or right could confuse, since those words shift meaning depending on which way a sailor happens to be facing. Sailors historically paired the term with starboard commands for turning the opposite way, so a crew could act instantly on a single shouted word. The word survives today mostly in historical fiction, sailing manuals, and reenactments rather than modern maritime radio procedure, which now favors plainer phrasing. Its structure mirrors other old nautical directions such as aloft and ashore, built from a plus a noun.
