Etymology

Inherited from Middle English: translaten

In summary

From Middle English translaten (“to transport, translate, transform”), from Anglo-Norman translater, from Latin trānslātus, perfect passive participle of trānsferō (“to transport, carry across, translate”). See also -ate (verb-forming suffix). Distant doublet of transfer, see collate and confer, delate and defer, as well as prelate and prefer among others.
In this sense, displaced Old English wendan (“to translate,” also the word for “to turn” and “to change”).
