Unfortunately
the Americans have a habit of making verbs out of words which were hitherto very happy just being nouns. And also making up words from nothing. Notice when you land at an American airport, you don't disembark the aircraft like we do in Blighty.

No, in the US, passengers 'deplane'.

Amuses and irritates me in equal measure.
