Etymology
The word 'freighted' comes from the term 'freight,' which originated in the 14th century from the Middle English 'freit' or 'freit,' meaning 'goods transported by a ship.' This term is believed to have roots in the Old French word 'freit,' derived from the Latin 'frictus,' which means 'to break or crush.' Over time, 'freight' evolved to describe not only the goods transported but also the charge or payment for transportation services. The verb form 'freight' emerged as a way to articulate the action of transporting goods, leading to 'freighted' as the past participle used to describe goods that have been loaded and sent for delivery.
