porch: [13] Porch and portico [17] are ultimately the same word. Both go back to Italian portico, a descendant of Latin porticus ‘covered gallery or entry’, but whereas portico was borrowed directly, porch came via Old French porche. Porticus was derived from Latin porta ‘gate’, source of the port of English porthole. => port, portico
porch (n.)
c. 1300, "covered entrance," from Old French porche "porch, vestibule," from Latin porticus "covered gallery, covered walk between columns, arcade, portico, porch," from porta "gate, entrance, door" (see port (n.2)). The Latin word was borrowed directly into Old English as portic.
