They all come from one Latin root verb:
Fero, ferre, tuli, latus
It’s an irregular verb, with many uses: bring, bear, carry, consider, carry off, win, receive, get, and others.
The ‘fer’ words all come from the presnet tense (fer-) and the last one comes from the past participle (LATus), with the various prefixes added.

Conferre–to bring together
relatus, past participle of referre–to bring back
praeferre–to place before
translattus–transferred, used as past participle of transferre
