English

Etymology

From Middle English translacioun (“movement between two places; transfer of a bishop from one see to another; transfer of a saint’s relics from one place to another; feast day celebrating the transfer of a saint’s relics; transfer of dominion or rulership from one person to another; (law) settlement of a transfer of property; assumption into heaven; miraculous transformation; radical change of condition; replacement of religious laws or priests by new ones; act of translating from one language to another; the product of this act”) [and other forms], and then:

• from Anglo-Norman translacioun [and other forms] and Middle French, Old French translacion, translation (“translated text; act of translating from one language to another; act of moving something between two places; transfer of a saint’s relics from one place to another; feast day celebrating the transfer of a saint’s relics; transfer of property or rights from one person to another; transfer of a bishop or clergyman from one see or benefice to another; transfer of dominion or rulership from one person to another; alteration, change; metaphor; transference of disease from one person or body part to another; (astrology) separation of one planet from another”) (modern French translation); and
• their etymon Latin tr?nsl?ti? (“act of moving something between two places; transfer of property or rights from one person to another; figurative use of a word; transfer of ideas between two contexts; act of translating from one language to another”) (and compare Late Latin tr?nsl?ti? (“assumption into heaven; transfer of a bishop from one see to another; transfer of a saint’s relics from one place to another; translated text”)), from tr?nsl?t- (the supine stem of tr?nsfer? (“to bring or carry across or over, transfer, transport; to translate from one language to another; to use figuratively; to change, transform”); compare tr?nsl?t?, tr?nsl?tum) + -i? (suffix forming abstract nouns from verbs).

Tr?nsfer? is derived from tr?ns- (prefix meaning ‘beyond’) + fer? (“to bear, carry”) (the present stem ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *b?er- (“to bear, carry”) and the perfect stem from *telh?- (“to bear, endure; to undergo”)). The English word may be analysed as translate +? -ion.
