Cargo about to be stowed in battle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cargo' is the definition.
(I know that cargo can be written as freight)

'about to be stowed in battle' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' ('re' means regarding or about) and 're' is present in the answer.
'battle' could be 'fight' (fight is a kind of battle) and 'fight' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for freight that I've seen before include "Transport of bulk goods" , "that's carried by rail and road" , "Goods in transit" , "Something carried" , "Cargo, goods transported" .)
