The patient ribbon that never carries you home but moves everything you'll ever own.
means A continuous moving belt or chain of rollers that transports objects from one place to another, especially in factories, warehouses, and airports.
from From the verb 'convey,' which entered English in the 1300s from Old French 'conveier' — to accompany, escort, or carry along — built on Latin 'via,' a road or way. So buried inside 'conveyor' is the simple idea of putting something on the road. The agent-ending '-or' turns the act of conveying into the thing that does it; the industrial sense, the tireless belt, is a later arrival, riding in once factories needed a word for the machine that carries on the road's behalf.
