transport

Carry from here

Transport means to move something from one place to another: The truck transports goods across the country.

As a noun, transport is the act of moving or the means of doing so—British English uses transport where American English prefers transportation.

In an older sense, transport describes being carried away by strong emotion: She was transported by joy.

Historically, to transport criminals was to exile them to a penal colony.
