corsairn.

Brit.

/ˈkɔːsɛː/, U.S.

/ˈkɔrˌsɛ(ə)r/

Forms: α. 1500s corsale, 1500s–1600s cursaro; β. 1500s coursayre, (1600s cursare, corsare), 1600s–1700s corsaire, 1600s– corsair; γ. 1500s–1600s corsary, 1600s–1700s cursary, 1700s corsory; δ. 1600s cursour, cursore, corser.

Etymology: < French corsaire, in 15 –16th cent. coursaire = Provençal corsari, Spanish corsario, Italian corsale, corsare, formerly corsaro, -ario, medieval Latin cursārius (1234 in Matt. Paris, Du Cange), < medieval Latin cursus, cursa hostile excursion, inroad, plunder, booty (Latin cursus a run, march, voyage), Italian corsa, Spanish corsa, Provençal corsa, French course run, naval expedition for plunder. English had in early use the Italian forms corsale, corsare, and in the 17th cent. the anglicized forms cursary, corsary, cursor, cursour. (The reference of the name to Corsica was a piece of Italian popular etymology and animosity.)

1. The name in the languages of the Mediterranean for a privateer; chiefly applied to the cruisers of Barbary, to whose attacks the ships and coasts of the Christian countries were incessantly exposed. In English often treated as identical with pirate, though the Saracen and Turkish corsairs were authorized and recognized by their own government as part of its settled policy towards Christendom.
