sailors own at naming things
Left - port
Where you park your ship - port
Dessert wine - port

first two instances are based on the same original latin word, portus
the third instance is based on the city of Oporto, Portugal (which itself is based on the first) from where the wine was originally sent from to England
Why do English speakers use the Spanish name for Porto? akudood;

QuoteIn Portuguese the name of the city is spelled with a definite article as "o Porto" (English: the port). Consequently, its English name evolved from a misinterpretation of the oral pronunciation and referred to as "Oporto" in modern literature and by many speakers.
