The origin of the word 'traffic'is not very clear. However, it is suggested by many that in mediavel period there was a Latin word 'transfegator' that means explorer. The word 'transfegator' may have come from a Latin word 'transfegare' which is the changed form of 'transfretare' meaning crossing the sea.
