Steorbord, lit. "side on which a vessel was steered," from steor- "rudder, steering paddle" + bord "ship's side." Cf. O.N. stjornborði, Low Ger. stürbord, Ger. Steuerbord. Early Germanic peoples' boats were propelled and steered by a paddle on the right side. Fr. tribord (O.Fr. estribord), It. stribordo are Gmc. loan-words.  

<span>port </span>

<span>Meaning "left side of a ship" is attested from 1543, from notion of "the side facing the harbor" (when a ship is docked). It replaced larboard in common usage to avoid confusion with starboard (q.v.); officially so by Admiralty order of 1844 and U.S. Navy Department notice of 1846. Fig. sense "place of refuge" is attested from 1426; phrase any port in a storm first recorded 1749. </span>

The rhetorical techniques used by Thomas Paine in the Common Sense are ethos, logos, and pathos, as well as diction and syntax.

Paine is able to make the case that the United States should work toward their independence from England by utilising a constructed argument and rhetorical devices. The aim of Paine's essay was to persuade the colonies to declare their independence from Great Britain. His use of rhetorical questions and a simile to show unfair British policy is particularly powerful.

Paine makes use of it to create emotion, describe relationships, and provide contrasts or similarities. In this instance, he creates a list of what he considers to be Common Sense using syntax. He discusses how a man ought to be able to set aside all bias, concentrate on the most important issues, and extend his vision.
