The act of removing cargo, goods, or passengers from a vehicle, ship, or container.
From 'unload,' combining the prefix 'un-' (meaning to reverse an action) with 'load' (from Old Dutch 'laden,' meaning to put cargo on). The '-ing' form makes it a present participle or gerund.
Modern cargo ships use sophisticated unloading systems that can move entire containers in minutes—what once took dock workers days now happens with cranes and computers, completely transforming global trade.
