dumpcart

/dˈʌmpkɑɹt/ noun

A cart, often two-wheeled, that can be tilted to empty its contents.

Word Origin From Middle English dumpen 'to throw down' and cart—so a dumpcart is a cart that can be tilted to dump its contents. Dumpen is probably onomatopoeic, like the sound of something heavy falling. The same cart root gives us cartwheel, handcart, and oxcart. The PIE root *kers- meant 'to run', which is why cart is related to horse and carriage.

noun A cart, often two-wheeled, that can be tilted to empty its contents. countable
