delivery
Bringing goods over
Delivery is the act of bringing something to its destination—a package, a pizza, a baby.
The word covers both the process and the thing delivered: The delivery arrived late.
In speech and performance, delivery is how something is presented: Her comedic delivery was perfect.
A pitcher's delivery is the motion of throwing the ball.
To take delivery of something is to receive it formally.
