CIDE DICTIONARY

larboardn. [Lar- is of uncertain origin, possibly the same as lower, i. e., humbler in rank, because the starboard side is considered by mariners as higher in rank; cf. D. laag low, akin to E. low. See Board, n., 8.].
     The left-hand side of a ship to one on board facing toward the bow; port; -- opposed to starboard.  [1913 Webster]
    " Larboard is a nearly obsolete term, having been superseded by port to avoid liability of confusion with starboard, owing to similarity of sound."  [1913 Webster]
larboarda. 
     On or pertaining to the left-hand side of a vessel; port; as, the larboard quarter.  [1913 Webster]
