Trafik: Traffic EN [1] fromFR trafic gidiş-geliş, alışveriş, ticaret, araç seyrüseferi fromIT traffico. Oldest Source: [ c (1932) : rıhtım metre tulüne isabet eden vasatî trafik miktarı ]
[1] traffic (v.)
1540s, "to buy and sell," from traffic (n.) and preserving the original commercial sense.
From Middle French trafique (“traffic”), from Italian traffico (“traffic”) from trafficare (“to carry on trade”). Potentially from Vulgar Latin *trānsfrīcāre (“to rub across”); Ultimate derivation of the Italian word from Arabic tafriq "distribution." Meaning "people and vehicles coming and going" first recorded 1825. Traffic jam is by 1908, ousting earlier traffic block (1895).
Traffic circle is from 1938. تَفْرِيق (tafrīq, “distribution, dispersion”), reshaped to match the native prefix tra- (“trans-”).
traffic (n.) c. 1500, "trade, commerce," from Middle French trafique (15c.), from Italian traffico (14c.), from trafficare "carry on trade," of uncertain origin, perhaps from a Vulgar Latin *transfricare "to rub across," from Latin trans "across" (see trans-) + fricare "to rub" (see friction), with the original sense of the Italian verb being "touch repeatedly, handle."
