كور²
Where it comes from
Likely through Aramaic from Akkadian 𒆠𒉈 (/kuru/, “crucible, kiln, brazier; log, thick reed; short reed mat, collection of reeds”), likely coined from Sumerian 𒄥 (gur, “a bundle”), hence a place of burning bundles of firewood or tinder. The sense of a saddle originally stems from a bundle or mat rolled and placed for cushioning; a specified sense natively coined from Akkadian 𒄀𒆤𒈣 (/kuru/, “short reed mat, collection or roll of reeds; a woven thing”), from Sumerian 𒄥 (gur, “to twist, to wind, to turn”).
