Answer:
✔ Cargo" derives from a Spanish word meaning "load" which was derived from the Latin "carrus" a wheeled vehicle, which survives in English as "cart." "Shipment" derives from the Old English word "scip" pronounced the same as modern "ship" and having cognate forms in other Germanic languages.
Answer:
Because shipment refers to how the goods are transported cargo refers to the goods themselves. So one can load a cargo of boats for shipment via automobile.
