1. Most: The word "most" is derived from the Old English word "mǣst", meaning "greatest" or "utmost". Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*maistaz" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*meg-", which has a sense of "greatness" or "power".
2. Embarked: The word "embarked" is the past participle form of the verb "embark". It comes from the French word "embarquer", which is derived from the Late Latin word "imbarcare". The Latin prefix "in-" means "into" or "in", while "barca" means "boat".
