embarcadero means pier in spanish. If anyone has a good dictionary (oxford english is the best I've heard), look up some key words and their other meanings. She might have thought have used the word for its multiple meanings, which actually make the word more specific if you think about it. These are from my crappy mac dictionary: abominably- "The term was once widely believed to be from ab- [away from] + Latin homine (from homo ‘human being’ ), thus ‘inhuman, beastly,’ and frequently spelled abhominable until the 17th cent." turn- (other than the conventional meaning) "aim, point, or direct (something)";"pass around (the flank or defensive lines of an army) so as to attack it from the side or rear."; "remake (a garment or a sheet), putting the worn outer side on the inside."; "pass the age or time of : I've just turned forty." "start doing or becoming involved with : in 1939 he turned to films in earnest. - go on to consider next : we can now turn to another aspect of the problem. - go to for help, advice, or information : who can she turn to? - have recourse to (something, esp. something dangerous or unhealthy) : he turned to drink and drugs for solace. 4 [ trans. ] shape (something) on a lathe : the faceplate is turned rather than cast. - give a graceful or elegant form to : [as adj. with submodifier ] ( turned) a production full of so many finely turned words. - make (a profit)." |
