Being carried is a term used to describe the act of someone or something being lifted and moved from one place to another. Synonyms for this term include transported, conveyed, shifted, transferred, and transported. These words are often used interchangeably, but each one carries a slightly different connotation. For example, transferred implies a change of ownership or responsibility, while transported suggests a journey or long distance travel. Conveyed might be used more specifically to refer to the transport of goods or information. Regardless of the synonym used, all convey the same basic meaning, that of something being lifted and moved to another location.
