Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'cargo', derived from Spanish and Portuguese 'carga' (load, burden) stemming ultimately from late Latin 'carricare' (to load a wagon), and 'ship', from Old English 'scip' of Germanic origin. The compound emerged in the late 19th century with the advent of steam-powered ocean liners to explicitly designate commercial vessels designed for transporting goods rather than passengers.
