carry
/ˈkæ.ɹi/
When used for moving objects, "carry" implies holding something while moving. It is different from "bring" or "take," which focus more on the destination. In a business context, when a store "carries" a product, it means they regularly keep that item in their inventory for customers to buy. When talking about sound, "carry" describes how far a voice or noise can travel through the air so that others can hear it.
