覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 transporter「運ぶ人・もの」に複数語尾 -s を加えた形で、綴りはそのまま、語尾は有声音 /r/ の後なので /z/ と発音します。transport＋-er＋-s と分け、「運ぶ働きをする複数の人・車両・装置」と捉え、文脈から何を指すか判断しましょう。
Analyze transporters as transport plus -er plus plural -s: they are multiple people or things that perform transportation. It is the plural of transporter, made simply by adding s; because the preceding sound is voiced, the ending is pronounced /z/. Picture several transporters outside a warehouse, but check the context before deciding what they are. The word may identify transport workers or companies, vehicles carrying equipment, or specialized devices moving supplies. The shared idea is always more than one agent or mechanism that carries something elsewhere.

transporters の語源・成り立ち Etymology
transporters は transport「運ぶ」に -er「するもの・人」と複数語尾 -s が付いた形です。transport はラテン語 transportare（trans-「越えて」+ portare「運ぶ」）に遡り、「向こうへ運ぶもの」が原義です。関連語は import, portable.
Transporters is the plural of transporter, formed by adding -s. Transporter consists of transport and the agent or instrument suffix -er, so it denotes someone or something that transports. Transport ultimately comes from Latin transportare, combining trans-, “across” or “beyond,” with portare, “to carry.” Its structure therefore expresses the idea of carriers that move people or objects from one location to another.
