Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *ḱor-u- (“crow, raven”), apparently of imitative origin and with similar formations across multiple Indo-European branches; see Latin cornīx (“crow”) for more.[1]

The senses referring to curved objects have been separated by linguists in the past from the "crow" sense, though it is likely that they are from the same etymological origin, with semantic extension "shaped like a crow's beak or claws" > "curved object".[1]
