Word origin
From Latin transportare, made of trans, across, and portare, to carry. Esperanto happens to own both halves as living words, so a learner who knows trans and porti can read the borrowing as though it were a home-made compound.

Examples
.
The ship transports goods to the island.
.
We have to move the furniture to the new house.
.
A train carries more people than a car.
This is a borrowing that behaves like a build. is an everyday Esperanto preposition and an everyday verb, so decodes on sight as carrying something across a distance, and is the activity. Keep it for goods and cargo and for the deliberate moving of things: people who simply go somewhere or rather than being transported. The -- suffix gives o, a means of transport, which is the neat one-word answer to "how did you get here".
