The term often pertains to securing services, such as a hotel room, flight, or a table at a restaurant. It implies that one has made a prior commitment or appointment. When an individual or entity is booked, it suggests that they are no longer available during that specified time period, as their time or resources have been pre-allocated.

This step is typically a part of the criminal justice system in many jurisdictions to maintain an accurate record and account for individuals who have come under law enforcement custody.

   Overall, the term booked encompasses various contexts but generally indicates that a reservation, arrangement, or commitment has been made, whether it pertains to travel, events, or legal matters.
