'cargo' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'about to be stowed in battle' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is found in the answer.
'battle' could be 'fight' (fight is a kind of battle) and 'fight' is found in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

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" .)
