Origin

Late 15th century: from French avarie 'damage to ship or cargo', earlier 'customs duty', from Italian avaria, from Arabic ‘awār 'damage to goods'; the suffix -age is on the pattern of damage. Originally denoting a duty payable by the owner of goods to be shipped, the term later denoted the financial liability from goods lost or damaged at sea, and specifically the equitable apportionment of this between the owners of the vessel and of the cargo (late 16th century); this gave rise to the general sense of calculating the mean (mid 18th century).

Originally a shipping term, meaning either the duty payable by the owner of goods about to be shipped or the financial liability for any goods lost or damaged at sea, average came into English in the 15th century from French avarie ‘damage to a ship or cargo, customs duty’. The ultimate source was Arabic awar ‘damage to goods’. All this may seem a long way from the modern meaning of average, but the word came to be applied to the fair splitting of the financial liability between the owners of the vessel and the owners of the cargo, which in time led to the modern senses.
