Help[Facts] Re: Etymology of Symphorian
in reply to a message by Andria
To carry is "pherein" in Greek, but "phora" is indeed "carrying, movement, course, tribute" (like in "amphora", which means "both sides carry" because of the two handles)
"Syn" means "(together)with"
Now "symphero" is: to assemble, to help, to be useful, to be suitable
Does this make sense to you?
