Why is it that when you transport something by car, it is called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it is called cargo?
shipment (n.)
1802, “act of shipping;” 1861, “that which is shipped;” see ship (v.) + -ment.
cargo (n.)
1650s, “freight loaded on a ship,” from Spanish cargo “burden,” from cargar “to load, impose taxes,” from Late Latin carricare “to load on a cart” (see charge (v.)). South Pacific cargo cult is from 1949. Cargo pants attested from 1977.

“Higher wages”. “Mapmakers on strike”. “Sign it into law now”,etc.
