Etymology

Ultimately from the verb corrigō (“to correct”). The ending appears to be the diminutive-forming suffix -uncula, which is uncommon except for at the end of diminutives from feminine nouns ending in -ō. However, no Latin noun *corrigiō exists. It could possibly be built on the noun corrigia (“thong, strap”), which could have the meaning "whip".
