Etymology of FERRIES

The word "ferries" originated from Middle English "ferye", which was derived from Old Norse "ferja" and Old English "ferian". The Old Norse term "ferja" meant "to convey by boat", while the Old English "ferian" meant "to carry, transport". Over time, these terms merged and evolved into the Middle English form "ferye", which referred to the act of transporting people or goods by boat. Ultimately, "ferye" transformed into the modern term "ferries", which still refers to vessels that transport passengers and vehicles across bodies of water.
