Etymology

Inherited from Middle English: transporten

In summary

From Middle English transporten, a borrowing from Old French transporter (“carry or convey across”), from Latin trānsportō, from trans (“across”) + porto (“to carry”). By surface analysis, trans- (“beyond, across, through”) + port (“to carry, bear, or convey; to bring”).
