Etymology

The word 'freighting' originates from the noun 'freight', which dates back to the late Middle Ages, derived from the Old French word 'freit', meaning load or cargo. This Old French term can be traced further back to the Latin word 'fractum', which means 'to break' or 'to break up'. The usage of 'freight' in English has evolved to encompass not only the act of transporting goods but also the costs associated with that service. Over time, with the development of global trade networks and various transportation modes, the concept of freighting expanded to include a range of logistical elements. The growth of the shipping industry, especially during the Industrial Revolution, further solidified the importance of freighting in economics and commerce. Today, freighting is a vital component of supply chain management, ensuring that goods are moved efficiently across borders and markets.
