Multiple methods or vehicles for transporting people or goods from one place to another, or legal documents that transfer ownership of property.
From Old French 'conveiance,' derived from 'conveyer' (to transport). The legal meaning developed in Middle English when documents transferring land became formalized in writing. The sense of 'vehicles' came from the general meaning of 'means of transport.'
The word 'conveyance' has a split personality: it means both a physical thing (like a horse or car) AND a piece of paper that transfers your house—because both physically move you somewhere or move your property to someone else!
