A person or thing that carries or transports something from one place to another.
From 'convey' (from Old French 'conveier') plus '-er' (one who does the action). The root likely comes from Latin 'con-' (together) and 'via' (way), literally meaning 'to go together on a way.'
The word 'conveyer' is older than 'conveyor belt'—it originally just meant anyone or anything that carries stuff, so a horse was a conveyer, a messenger was a conveyer, and eventually machines became conveyers too!
