Definition

Etymology
The Dutch word "boeken" comes from Middle Dutch 'boecken', which in turn derives from Old Dutch 'boc' meaning 'book'. Originally, it referred to writing or recording information in a book. Over time, it evolved to mean making a formal record or reservation, much like booking a place or service today.
