corfn.¹

Brit.

/kɔːf/, U.S.

/kɔrf/

Forms: Also Middle English corffe, 1600s–1800s corfe, 1800s corve, ( cauf, coff). Plural corves /kɔːvz/; also 1600s corfes.

Etymology: Compare Middle Dutch, Middle High German corf, korf, Dutch and Low German korf; also Old Norse korfr (Fritzner), Norwegian and Swedish dialect korv, Danish kurv; in Old High German chorp (b-), Middle High German korp (b-), modern German korb basket. The word has not been found in English before the 15th cent., when it was probably introduced from some Low German source. The German words are usually considered to be < Latin corbis basket, taken into West Germanic in form korƀ(i)-; but many German scholars think it possibly a native word; see Grimm, and Kluge. ( Webster 1828, followed by other Dictionaries, has Corb, either a misprint for Corf (omitted in W.), or perhaps a local form in U.S. It is unknown in England.)
