'convey' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'conveier,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'veier' meant 'to carry.'

'conveier' transformed into the Middle English word 'conveien,' and eventually became the modern English word 'convey.'

Initially, it meant 'to carry or transport something,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to communicate or express something.'
