Etymology: From Middle English transporten, a borrowing from Old French transporter (“carry or convey across”), from Latin trānsportō, from trans (“across”) + porto (“to carry”). By surface analysis, trans- (“beyond, across, through”) + port (“to carry, bear, or convey; to bring”).
Senses: examples: text: to transport goods; to transport troops

I was transported with your Speech, and suffer'd
Your knees to wrong themselves; I have heard the fortunes
Of your dead Lords, which gives me such lamenting
As wakes my vengeance, and revenge for 'em.
