Etymology

From Late Latin cōrs, contraction of Latin cohors. The scribe of the St. Gall glosses wrote coirt first but corrected it to cuirt.

Replaced in Middle Irish by cúirt, which was borrowed from Middle English court, from Old French cort, from the same Latin word; this is the source of Irish cúirt, Manx cooyrt, and Scottish Gaelic cùirt.
