A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just one wheel, designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using two handles at the rear, or by a sail to push the ancient wheelbarrow by wind. The term ""wheelbarrow"" is made of two words: ""wheel"" and ""barrow."" ""Barrow"" is a derivation of the Old English ""bearwe"" which was a device used for carrying loads.(Wikipedia)
