The term "starboard" originates from Old English "styrbord," which referred to the side of a ship that was steered, typically the right side when facing forward. Historically, ships were steered with a rudder mounted on the right side, making it the preferred side for navigation. The word "star" in "starboard" is linked to the Old Norse word "stjǫrn," meaning "to steer." Over time, the term became standardized in maritime language to distinguish it from "port," the left side of the ship.
