ship
Send by freight
A ship is a large boat that typically carries cargo; many kinds of ships can be characterized by preceding noun: cruise ship, pirate ship.
From this meaning, the verb ship arose to denote the carrying of things by ship.
The verb meaning is now generalized to characterize the movement of goods by any means: We ship packages via UPS.
As an intransitive verb, ship means to be sent: Your order will ship next week.
The figurative expression jump ship is inspired by literal abandoning of a ship but refers to any sudden act of leaving an organization: Several middle managers have jumped ship.
