The handoff where everything either flows forward or vanishes into the gap between.
means To move something — a person, an object, money, data, or responsibility — from one place, account, or owner to another.
from From Latin transferre, a clean compound of trans- 'across' and ferre 'to carry, to bear.' That ferre is one of the great workhorse roots of Indo-European, a cousin to English 'bear' and lurking inside words like 'fertile' and 'offer.' So at heart 'transfer' is simply 'to carry across' — the act and its risk are baked right into the word, since anything carried across a gap can also be dropped in it.
