A transportation system using an aerial cable to carry passengers or cargo, like a cable car or aerial lift.
Compound of 'cable' (from Old French, ultimately from Latin capulum meaning 'halter') plus 'way' (Old English weg). Describes the path or system using cables.
Cableways were engineering miracles that let humans skip bridges entirely—the first aerial transport systems literally elevated mountain crossing from death-defying to merely terrifying!
