The Latin root for translate is ferre.

The verb which translate comes from is transferre:: to carry across. Transferre also gives us transfer.

Ferre is among the most irregular verbs in Latin:

Ferre :: to carry

Ferro :: I carry

Tuli :: I carried

Latum :: carried (participle) (eg latum est :: it was carried).

translate is from the fourth part of ferre; latum.

translatum est :: it was carried across :: it was translated.
