carrying away
Transporting from here
Carrying away describes the act of removing something by lifting and transporting it elsewhere: Workers spent the afternoon carrying away debris.
In legal contexts, it refers to the removal of property in theft—the "asportation" element that distinguishes larceny from mere trespass.
Figuratively, to be carried away is to lose self-control through excitement or emotion: Don't get carried away with the spending.
