Origin:
The word "freight" originates from the Middle English word "fraight," which was borrowed from Old French. The Old French word "frait" was the past participle of the verb "freiter," which meant "to carry, transport." This verb was derived from Medieval Latin "fretāre," which was an alteration of the Latin verb "vectāre," meaning "to carry, transport."
The Latin word "vectāre" is ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *wegh-, which meant "to convey, carry." This root is also the origin of the English words "vehicle," "weigh," and "way."
