plural of reservation
"She booked two dinner reservations for our anniversary next Friday."
In plain English: Reservations are spots booked ahead of time at a restaurant or hotel.
"We made reservations at the restaurant for dinner tonight."
Derived from the Latin reservare, meaning to keep back or reserve, this term originally referred to land set aside by the U.S. government for Native American tribes. The spelling was later altered in English under French influence to distinguish it from other forms of reservation.
