carriage

Stately wheeled conveyance

A carriage is a wheeled vehicle, especially one drawn by horses for transporting people.

The word extends to anything that carries or conveys: a baby carriage, the carriage of a typewriter (the part that moves), or a railway carriage (British for a passenger car).

Carriage also means bearing or posture—how someone carries themselves: She has the carriage of a dancer.

The carriage of goods is their transport, and carriage charges are shipping fees.
