- cork
- cork: [14] The earliest ascertainable ancestor of cork is Spanish alcorque ‘cork sole’, which passed into English via Dutch kork. The initial al-, of course, suggests that this was of Arabic origin (al being the Arabic definite article), and it seems likely that it represents Arabic al-qūrq, which some have suggested came from Latin cortex ‘bark’, source of English cortex [17]. The use of cork for a bottle-stopper made from cork dates from the early 16th century.
=> cortex - cork (n.)
- c. 1300, from Spanish alcorque "cork sole," probably via Arabic and ultimately from Latin quercus "oak" (see Quercus) or cortex (genitive corticis) "bark" (see corium).
- Cork
- place in Ireland, anglicized from Irish Corcaigh, from corcach "marsh."
- cork (v.)
- 1570s, "to put a cork sole on a shoe," from cork (n.)). Meaning "to stop with a cork" is from 1640s. Related: Corked; corking.
