Cargo refers to goods carried by a large vehicle, like a plane, ship, train, or truck. See a giant truck on the highway piled high with boxes, lumber, or new cars? It's carrying cargo.

Cargo originates from the Latin word carricare which means "to load on a cart, or wagon." Cargo can be loaded on a cart, but it's usually loaded on something much bigger. On a ship, cargo is stacked up in huge, colorful metal containers. These containers can be full of all types of cargo, like food, furniture, or electronics. You'll rarely need the plural, but it's formed by adding an -s or more commonly, an -es ( cargoes).

Feasibility describes how easy or difficult it is to do something. When you set a goal at work, think about the long-term feasibility of accomplishing what you want.

When people talk about the feasibility of a project, they're discussing whether or not it can be achieved - how doable is it? If you want to question your dad's unreasonable plan for painting the entire house in a weekend, tell him you should discuss the feasibility of the task. The formal sound of feasibility allows you to question whether or not it can be done - without sounding like you're shirking your responsibilities.

Something that's is exceptional or outstanding - much better or more than usual. A scene of surpassing hilarity in a movie might make you laugh until tears run down your face.

The adjective surpassing is a bit old fashioned, and you're most likely to read it in a novel or poem. Its most common use is in the phrase " surpassing beauty," or exceptional beauty. A poet might reflect on the surpassing beauty of the sunset over the ocean, for example. To surpass is to "go beyond," from the prefix sur-, "beyond," and the Old French verb passer, "to go by."

When the weather forecast says the day will be predominantly sunny, that means it will be mostly sunny.

Like the word dominate, predominantly comes from the Latin dominari meaning "to rule, dominate, govern." Use predominantly to describe the general, ruling quality of something, the same way you'd use the phrase "for the most part." An actor who is predominantly in films, appears mostly in movies, but might sometimes do live theater or TV. A neighborhood that is predominantly Indian has mostly Indian people living there, but maybe other groups too, in smaller numbers.

Different communities have different ritual practices, like meditation in Buddhism, or baptism in Christianity. We also call the ceremony itself a ritual. Although it comes from religious ceremonies, ritual can also be used for any time-honored tradition, like the Superbowl, or Mardi Gras, or Sunday morning pancake breakfast.

In 1785, tandem first came into existence as a noun meaning "carriage pulled by horses harnessed one behind the other." About a hundred years later, people started to use tandem to refer to bicycles with two seats. This type of bicycle has two sets of pedals and two seats, but only one set of wheels. To transform tandem into an adverb, just stick in in front of it. "In tandem" can just mean "together" - like two departments working in tandem on a project.
