    [Verb]  | "car*ry" | \ ˈker-ē \


    1: to move while supporting : transport

    2: to convey by direct communication

    3: conduct, escort


    Origin: 14th century ;

     Middle English carien "to transport by a cart, horse or other means, convey, bear in one's arms, on one's back, etc.," borrowed from Anglo-French carier, charier "to transport, bear in one's arms, carry off, drive" (continental Old French charrier, charroier, Picard & Norman carier), from carre, charre "cart, wagon, small cartload" + -ier, -oier, factitive verb suffix, going back to Latin -idiāre, originally representing variant pronunciation (or spelling variant) of -izāre {see: |-ize|-ize} ;

      * Note : The variant suffix -ier may have arisen by analogy with verbs such as prier "to ask," from Latin precārī, which had variants with -i- and -ei- (> -oi-) depending on where stress fell on inflected forms, leading to generalization of one or the other form throughout the paradigm. Modern French has both charrier and charroyer. Compare {ply:3|ply:3}.;
