As this article is in the list of most wanted stubs and it is effectively no more than a dictionary definition, I propose the article for deletion and that important information be transferred to the entry in the wiktionary. MKoltnow 20:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the article could avoid being deleted if someone knew the origins of the word "cargo", and could list that type of information? Squirthose 18:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

"Cargo" has this at Webster on etymology: It's from Spanish, and means load, charge, from the verb cargar, which again is from the Late Latin carricare [1] - ie. cargo, I am loading. Anyway this is a very international term, and deserves a somewhat better treatment at Wiki. At least, a specific nation's cargo problems shouldn't be prominent in the article.
