A type of wheelbarrow or cart with a handle and two wheels, used for carrying goods or materials in a light, maneuverable way.
From Middle English hack (related to 'hake' or 'to chop') combined with barrow (a wheeled cart), describing a utility cart used for hauling or transporting items.
Medieval and early modern hackbarrows were the pickup trucks of their era—craftsmen, farmers, and merchants relied on these two-wheeled carts to move everything from fish at markets to building materials at construction sites.
