TRAFFIC

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 155 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRAFFIC , properly the interchange or passing of goods or merchandise between persons, communities or countries, commerce or
trade
 . The
term
  in current usage is chiefly applied collectively to the goods, passengers, vehicles and vessels passing to and fro over the streets, roads, sea, rivers, canals, railways, &c.
The origin of the word is obscure. It occurs in Fr. trafique, and trafiquer, Ital. traffico, trafficare, Sp. trafago, trafagar. Du Cange (
Gloss
 . Med. et Inf. Lat.) quotes the use of traffigare from a treaty between
Milan
  and Venice of 138o, and gives other variants of the word in medieval Latin. There is a medieval Latin word transfegator, an explorer, spy, investigator (see Du Cange, op. cit., s.v.) which occurs as early as 1243, and is stated to be from transfegare, a corruption of transfretare, to
cross
  over the sea (trans, across, fretum, gulf, strait, channel). Diez (Etymologisches Worterbuch der romanischen Sprachen) connects the word with Port. lrasfegar, to decant, which he traces to
Late
  Lat. vicare, to exchange, Lat. vicis,
change
 , turn. A suggestion (
Athenaeum
 , app. 7, 1900) has been made that it is to he referred to a
late
  Hebrew corruption (traffik) of Gr. rpoira.e6c, pertaining to a
trophy
 , applied to a silver coin with the figure of victory upon it and termed in Latin vi.ctoriatus.
