Etymology 1

edit
 
The old port of Dubrovnik

From Old English port, borrowed from Latin portus (port, harbour), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pértus (crossing) (and thus a distant doublet of 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. Doublet of fjard, fjord, firth, ford, and Portus.

Noun

edit

port (countable and uncountable, plural ports)

  1. A place on the coast at which ships can shelter, or dock to load and unload cargo or passengers.
    Synonyms: harbour, haven
