(deliver)
transporting to a destination
Etymology
'deliver' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'delivrer,' where 'de-' meant 'away' and 'livrer' meant 'to set free.'
'delivrer' transformed into the Middle English word 'deliveren,' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliver.'
Initially, it meant 'to set free or liberate,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to bring or transport something to a destination.'
