Etymology

1. Inherited through Norwegian dialects from Old Norse korf, itself borrowed from Middle Low German korf, from Old Saxon *korf, from Proto-West Germanic *korb. The further origin is uncertain; a traditional connection with Latin corbis (“basket”) is disputed.
2. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk korg, Swedish korg, Icelandic korf, Faroese kurv, Dutch korf and German Korb (“basket”). See: Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns 'korg', Swedish Nouns 'korg', Dutch Nouns 'korf', German Nouns 'Korb'.
