report

report: [14] To report something is etymologically to ‘carry it back’. The word was borrowed from Old French reporter, which went back to Latin reportāre, a compound verb formed from the prefix re- ‘back’ and portāre ‘carry’ (source of English import, portable, porter, etc). The metaphorical application to ‘bringing back news’ developed in Latin.
