To the Romans, whatever life brought, good or bad, was chance -- ‘fors.’ Good luck creates fortunes for the ‘fortunate’
In Latin that ‘bh’ was softened further, to become ‘ferre.’ That gives us ‘fertile.’ But as a suffix, ‘-fer’ is used in all sorts of words ‘-suffer’ is to bear pain, ‘transfer’ is to carry a load from one side to the other, ‘prefer’ is to weigh more on one side than the other, ‘refer’ is to hand the burden to someone else, ‘proffer’ is to hold out the burden as a gift, ‘concer’ is to share it with other people, ‘differ’ is to carry it in an unconventional way and ‘defer’ is to put it down with the intention of picking it up some other time. ~ Page 37
