Etymology

Corse is a French noun borrowed from Italian *Corso*, which comes from the Latin *Corsica* – the name of the island itself – originally derived from the Greek *Κορσική* (in turn from a pre‑Roman island name). The term entered French in the early modern period and remains the standard way to refer to a person from Corsica.
