From Old English port, borrowed from Latin portus ("port, harbour"), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pértus ("crossing") (and thus distantly cognate with 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.
Inherited from the Old English port, from the Latin porta ("passage, gate"), reinforced by the Old French porte. 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.
