Today's daily trip through the dictionary netted me:
DUNNAGE as a noun, can have either of two meanings:
- Loose materials used to support and protect cargo in a ship's hold or the padding in a shipping container. The example for this usage could be worded "Make sure the dunnage is sufficient to make sure the cargo is transported safely."
- Baggage. With this meaning, one could say "The dunnage must be tagged properly so each customer gets the correct property returned to them."
