Etymology
The word riverboat is made from the simple words river ('a large, flowing body of water') and boat ('a small ship'), so it literally means a boat for use on a river. That's why a riverboat today is a boat built for travel or tours on rivers, often used for transport, leisure, or historic paddle-wheel trips.
