Etymology: "Bookings" is the plural of "booking," a noun formed from the verb "to book," meaning to enter a name or request in a record. The verb descends from Old English "bōc," a written document, and that word is probably connected to the beech tree, perhaps because early writing was inscribed on beech wood, though this origin is not certain.
