The noun is borrowed from French sémaphore, from Ancient Greek σῆμα (sêma, “mark, sign, token”) (from Proto-Indo-European *dʰyeh₂- (“to notice”)) + French -phore (from Ancient Greek -φόρος (-phóros, suffix indicating a bearer or carrier), from φέρω (phérō, “to bear, carry”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to bear, carry”)).

The verb is derived from the noun.
