The German word Versand is a noun that means shipping, dispatch, or sending.

It consists of the base word Sand, which literally means "sand" but in this context is not the root. The real root here is from the verb versenden ("to send out"), where the prefix ver- usually signals a process or action.
Versand refers to the process of sending goods or mail from one place to another.

Versand focuses on the sending/shipping process or dispatch of goods.
Lieferung emphasizes the delivery or the arrival of goods to the recipient.
Sendung is more general, referring to a shipment or even a broadcast.
Versorgung relates to supplying or provisioning, including a broader context than just shipping.
