People who carry luggage, packages, or other heavy items for travelers or customers, often at hotels, trains, or airports.
From Old French 'portere' and Latin 'portare' meaning 'to carry.' A porter is literally someone whose job is to carry things.
In the 1800s, porters at Grand Central Terminal in New York were often so trusted by wealthy travelers that they doubled as informal bankers—people would give them cash to hold safely during their journeys!
