platform
In modern English, the word is most commonly used in technology contexts to describe software environments (like iOS or Android). When used as a verb, "to platform" is relatively new and more common in social justice or artistic contexts. It means giving someone a voice or visibility. In British English, the railway meaning is very common; in American English, this is often called a "platform" but sometimes referred to as a "boarding area" depending on the station size.
