Etymology

Inherited from Middle English transporten, a borrowing from Old French transporter (“carry or convey across”), from Latin trānsportāre (“to carry over, take across, carry, convey, remove, transport”), from trāns- (“across, over, to the farther side of”) + portō (“to bear, carry, convey, take”). By surface analysis, trans- (“beyond, across, through”) + port (“to carry, bear, or convey; to bring”).
