Origin

Middle English: from Old Norse ferja 'ferry boat', of Germanic origin and related to fare.

ford from Old English:
This is a Germanic word, closely related to ferry (Middle English) which comes from Old Norse, and to fare (Old English). This originally meant both to journey, travel—as in farewell (Late Middle English) ‘go well, safe journey’—and the journey itself. From this developed the sense payment for a journey in late Middle English.
