Morphology
transfer = trans + fer
Formed from Latin combining elements trans- + -fer (carry); these are not standalone, productive English morphemes, so a B1 learner cannot reliably infer the meaning from the parts.
Etymology
The word transfer comes from the Latin parts trans- 'across' and ferre 'to carry'. To transfer ownership is to 'carry' rights or things 'across' from one person to another.
