Etymology

From Middle Irish corr (“protruding, pointed”), from Proto-Celtic *kurros (“pointed, angled”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“bend, curve”), if the development were similar to *kew-ro- to *ku-ro- to Proto-Celtic *kur-so- to *kurros (“pointed, angled”); see also Latin curvus. Cognate with Welsh cwr (“corner, edge”). See: Latin Adjectives 'curvus'.
