Definition
A wooden frame or carrying rack used in Mesoamerica for transporting goods, similar to a backpack frame.
Etymology
From Nahuatl (Aztec language), referring to a specific type of wooden carrying structure. The term was used by Spanish colonists to describe indigenous transportation technology.
Kelly Says
Before wheels became common in the Americas (the Aztecs actually knew about wheels but didn't use them for cargo), the cacaxte was engineering genius—letting one person carry massive loads.
