Etymology:

• Latin: deferre ("to bear away, bring down")
• Proto-Indo-European: *dʰer- ("to carry, bring")

• To transfer or convey something from one place to another, especially by hand or by a physical carrier.
• To utter or express something.
• To give or provide something.
• To fulfill or carry out a request or obligation.

Origin:

The word "deliver" has its origins in the Latin verb deferre, which literally means "to bear away" or "to bring down." This verb is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *dʰer-, which also gave rise to words in other Indo-European languages such as:

• Greek: pherein ("to carry, bring")
• Sanskrit: dhara ("to hold, carry")
• Old English: beran ("to carry, bear")

The word "deliver" entered the English language in the 13th century via the Old French verb delivrer, which was itself derived from the Latin deferre.
