What barge means

A flat-bottomed boat without its own engine, used to carry cargo on rivers and canals, or to push forcefully through a crowd or space.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *barge*, likely from Medieval Latin *barga*, possibly derived from a Gaulish or Celtic root. The word entered English in the 14th century referring to a flat-bottomed boat used on rivers. The connection to earlier origins remains uncertain, though some scholars suspect links to Germanic roots meaning "bark" or "boat," but this derivation is not firmly established.
