The word 'पासपोर्ट' (passport) is a loanword directly taken from English, which itself derives from 'pass', meaning a document allowing passage. The term became common in Hindi as international travel increased.
'पासपोर्ट' is primarily used in formal contexts pertaining to travel and legal identification. It's primarily encountered in written text but also in spoken discussions about travel.
