LatinCEFR A2
Root
trans- (across) + Latin 'portare' (to carry)
Latin transportare (carry across) → Old French transporter → Middle English transporten
In a word
trans (across) + port (to carry) = 'carry across'. A porter carries luggage; a port is where things gather to be loaded. Add trans- and you get "move across a boundary". Import goes in, export goes out, transport just goes elsewhere. Cargo, people, data — same verb covers them all, by design.
Examples

Trucks transport food to the markets.
