'commonly-carried' originates from the combination of 'common' and 'carry,' where 'common' meant 'usual' and 'carry' meant 'to transport or bear.'

'commonly-carried' evolved from the Old English word 'carian,' which meant 'to bear or transport,' and 'common,' from Latin 'communis,' meaning 'shared by all.'

Initially, it meant 'frequently transported,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
