To unload cargo from a ship; to discharge freight or goods.
From Latin 'deonerate' (to unburden), combining 'de-' (from) and 'onerare' (to load, from 'onus' meaning burden or load). A technical maritime term established in English by the 16th century for shipping operations.
The word 'deonerate' is the exact opposite of 'onerate' (to load cargo), yet almost nobody knows it—maritime vocabulary is full of such precise technical terms that only sailors and cargo handlers use, creating a hidden language within English.
