Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *per- Proto-Indo-European *-tus Proto-Indo-European *pértusder. Proto-Italic *portus Latin portusbor. Old English port English port From Old English port, borrowed from Latin portus (“port, harbour”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pértus (“crossing”) (and thus a distant doublet of ford). The directional sense, attested since at least the 1500s, derives from ancient vessels with the steering oar on the right (see etymology of starboard), which therefore had to moor with their left sides facing the dock or wharf. Doublet of fjard, fjord, firth, ford, and Portus.

Shortened form of Portsmouth.

Clipping of Port Adelaide.

Clipping of Port Macquarie.

Shortened form of Portugal

Inherited from the Old English port, from the Latin porta (“passage, gate”), reinforced by the Old French porte. Doublet of porta.

From Old French porter, from Latin portāre (“carry”). Akin to transport, portable.

Named from Portuguese Porto, a city in Portugal where the wines were originally shipped from.

Clipping of portmanteau.

Clipping of portfolio.
