Etymology

The French noun **court** comes from the Latin *curtus*, meaning “short, cut off.” In Old French the adjective *court* (also spelled *cort*) was used to describe something brief or of small size, and over time it was reified into a noun denoting a short thing or a smallness. Thus the modern French noun “court” simply preserves the original sense of “small, short” inherited from its Latin root.
