The act of transporting and handing over goods, services, or messages to recipients. It can also mean fulfilling promises, giving speeches, or assisting in childbirth.
From Old French 'delivrer' and Latin 'deliberare,' originally meaning 'to set free' or 'to liberate.' The meaning expanded from freeing someone from captivity to transferring possession of goods, and eventually to fulfilling any kind of obligation or service.
