Definition
The cost of chartering a ship; the price paid for transporting cargo by sea (archaic nautical term).
Etymology
From Old French 'frete,' related to 'freter' (to freight). This variant competed with 'freight' and 'freightage' as a term for shipping costs but fell out of use as maritime English standardized.
Kelly Says
When you see archaic variants like 'afrete' and 'freight' competing to describe the same thing, you're watching language in real time deciding which words survive—'freight' won and 'afrete' lost.
