Vehicles or devices designed to move things from one place to another, or in science fiction, machines that can move matter instantly.
From Latin 'transportare' (to carry across), combining 'trans-' (across) and 'portare' (to carry). The suffix '-er' indicates something that does the action, and '-s' makes it plural.
Science fiction's 'Star Trek' transporter made this word futuristic, but the boring reality is that every truck and delivery service is using the basic idea—moving stuff across space—which shows how the same concept can be either mundane or magical depending on the technology.
