Stage Modern CLT
Pronunciation /ˈdwɪŋ.gɔɪd/
Part of speech Noun
Etymology from Middle Contrabir

Dwyngoed — contraband; goods forbidden or heavily taxed, carried concealed.

Notes

The goods themselves rather than the hiding of them. What counts as Dwyngoed differs by city, which is most of what makes the trade possible — a cargo legal in one harbor becomes Dwyngoed the moment it enters another.
