Alternative forms

Etymology

From Proto-Celtic *korks; related to Cornish kors (reeds), Breton korz (reeds), and further to Old Irish curchais (reedbed), and perhaps to Latin cārex (sedge).[1] Cameron connects Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerbʰ- (to turn (around), wind), on the basis of Latin scirpus, reasoning that reeds and bulrushes were formerly used to make ropes.[2] However, this root gave Middle Irish corb (wagon(-seat)),[3] making it phonetically unlikely.

Noun

cors f (plural corsydd or cyrs)

  1. bog
    Synonyms: mign, siglen
  2. reeds
    Synonyms: cawn, cecs
