Etymology

Inherited from Middle Dutch: vracht

Cognate with English: freight

In summary

From Middle Dutch vracht, from Middle Low German vracht, vrecht (“payment for cargo”), from Old Saxon frāht, frēht. Displaced the native Middle Dutch vrecht, both originally deriving from Proto-West Germanic *fra- + *aihti. Cognate with English freight and fraught.
