? dunnage is now just 4x4s for staging and stacking with enough space for forks to enter underneath

In speech but definitely as an industry term of art. Like "the current dunnage is causing product damage in transit, the vendor has to change the design"

Is there a non-Israel reason that a word that has existed since Middle English is being lost at a time when we ship more goods than at any time in human history?
