Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *kortъ, closely related to *kortъkъ (krátký (“short”)); derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut”). The original meaning was „something which was cut off“, shared with the synonymous *razъ (today ráz, compare Polish razy (“multiplied by, times”)). The origins might be in counting using notches cut into a tally stick. Compare Lithuanian kartas.
