From the word’s history

Convergence of Middle English corour, from Old French coreor (from corir 'to run'), and courier, from Middle French courrier, from Italian corriere.

源自古法文 coreor「跑者」,也來自義大利文 corriere。

Wiktionary

Picture someone whose whole job is to accompany something from where it starts to where it needs to be, and to make sure it arrives — a package, a message, or a of . The person does not own what they are carrying and does not decide where it goes; their job is to see it safely through the journey.

可以想成:一個人的整份工作就是陪著某樣東西從起點走到終點,並確保它平安抵達——可能是一個包裹、一則訊息,也可能是一車旅客。他不是那樣東西的主人,也不決定它要去哪裡,他負責的是「一路把它送到」這件事。
