Not actually a shower thought, saw an old document that labeled it air-port. I don’t think I would have ever made the connection.
(I’ve found people can be rude about word breakdowns, but I’m posting it anyway. Be better.)

Side note: port isn’t the only terminology aviation has stolen from seafaring. For example: airspeed is measured in knots. Captain, pilot, and first officer were all used aboard ships first as well.
