Re: "freighted with meaning"Posted by R. Berg on November 23, 2001 In Reply to: "Freighted with meaning" posted by ESC on November 22, 2001 : In the local newpaper on Thanksgiving Day, it says the holiday is "freighted with meaning" because of Sept. 11. I have only seen "fraught with meaning." (World Book Dictionary -- adjective, of a vessel laden; noun, Scottish, burden, load). : Anyway. We are having a Happy (Vegetarian) Thanksgiving. Ditto what Bruce said. Hope your holiday is happy too. Even if you do eat turkey. The Oxford English Dictionary has a definition
for "freighted" as a participle and a participial adjective: "Laden with cargo."
