Etymology
Uncertain. From older curueña, probably from an alteration of Latin columna (compare Old Occitan coronna, Milanese corogna), but probably influenced by cuero (as the carriages of crossbows were originally made of this material). Compare columna, which may be a doublet. See: Latin Nouns '
columna'.
