transfer
/ˈtrænsfər/·트랜스퍼·verb, noun
to move from one place to another
LatinCEFR B1
Root
trans- (across) + Latin 'ferre' (to carry, bear)
Latin transferre (carry across) → Old French transferer → English transfer
In a word
trans- (across) + fer (carry) = 'carry across'. The fer family is port's cousin — both mean "carry". trans- (across) → transfer, re- (back) → refer, pre- (forward) → prefer. Money, students, subway riders — one root quietly powers every "transfer" sign.
Examples
I want to transfer money to her account.
You can transfer to the green line here.
