/ˈhəvərˌbɔrd/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: hover- comb. form, board n., skateboard n.

Etymology: < hover- comb. form + board n., after skateboard n.Probably originating in, and popularized by, the 1989 film Back to the Future II.

Originally and chiefly Science Fiction.

A board, resembling a skateboard without wheels, which hovers above the ground and may be ridden like a skateboard.In Back to the Future II (see note in etymology) and other science-fiction contexts, hoverboards generally work using hypothetical antigravity technology. Various types of ‘hoverboard’ have actually been constructed, using existing technologies such as cushions of air (cf. hovercraft n.) or magnetism, but these have greater limitations than the devices depicted in science fiction.
