Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: French ancorage ; anchor n.¹, -age suffix.

Etymology: Partly (i) (in senses 1 and 2) < Anglo-Norman ancorage, ankerage, Anglo-Norman and Middle French ancrage, Middle French ancraige toll payable for anchoring a vessel (mid 14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), place suitable for anchoring a vessel (1450), the action of anchoring (a1463; French ancrage ; < ancorer , ancrer anchor v. + -age -age suffix), partly (ii) (especially in sense 3) < anchor n.¹ + -age suffix. In some later uses also influenced by anchor v. With senses 2 and 5 compare earlier anchoring n. With sense 2a compare also earlier anchor-hold n.¹Compare post-classical Latin anchoraticum (12th cent.), anchoragium (12th cent.; frequently from 13th cent. in British sources), Old Occitan ancoragi (1467), Catalan ancoratge (1439), Spanish †ancoraje (1246; now anclaje (16th cent.)), Portuguese ancoragem (1339), Italian ancoraggio (1488), and also (only denoting the toll; after French) Dutch ankerage (early 16th cent. as anchorage, anckeraige), Middle Low German ankerāzie. Compare the following earlier example, although it is unclear whether this should be interpreted as showing the Anglo-Norman or the Middle English word:1348 in W. Farrer Lancs. Inquests (1915) 194 [The custom of] ancorage, [of wreck of the sea, etc.].

1. A toll or charge payable for anchoring a vessel in a particular harbour or anchoring ground; the right to anchor a vessel as obtained by paying this. Also: the right to the revenue generated by imposing such a toll or charge. Now historical.
