Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *kerd- (“to cut (wood)? > to craft?”); compare Proto-Slavic *korda (“pile of logs”),[1][2] and perhaps also Proto-Celtic *kerdā (“craft, skill”) and Ancient Greek κέρδος (kérdos, “profit”). Has also been compared to Old Armenian խրճիթ (xrčitʻ, “hut, cabin”), but J̌ahukyan considers this unlikely.[3] Proto-West Germanic *hrātu (“honeycomb”) may also be related.[1]
