Etymology
Probably from Danish kort (“a card”) or possibly from a not referenced Middle Low German word kort known in Low German, kort (“a card”). Cognate with Icelandic kort (“a card, a map”) and Faroese kort (“a card, a map”), both from Old Norse kort (“a map”), all based on a variant of the Latin words charta and carta. See: Danish Nouns '
kort', Icelandic Nouns '
kort', Faroese Nouns '
kort'.
