from E-NED: Middle English carfuks, -fouk, represent an earlier carreforc(s, -furcs, 
corresponding to Provencal carreforc, Old French carrefor(s, -four (mod.F. carrefour):--
Latin quadrifurcus four-forked, from quadri- = quatuor four + furca fork;
as the French had lost the final 'c' before the 12th century, it is not quite clear how this 
came into English;—possibly from the Latin form—it could hardly be from the 
Proven{cced}al; the total absence of the r in English is also notable, esp. as fork was a well-known word from Old English times; but notwithstanding these and other obscure 
points in the phonetic history, the derivation itself appears to be beyond doubt
