The [[word]] comes from the French cour, an enclosed yard, which derives from the [[Latin]] form cortem, the accusative case of cohors, which again means an enclosed yard or the occupants of such a yard (from hortus = garden). The [[meaning]] of a judicial assembly is first attested in the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_Century 12th century], and derives from the earlier usage to designate a [[sovereign]] and his entourage, which met to [[adjudicate]] disputes in such an enclosed yard. The verb "to court", [[meaning]] to win favor, derives from the same source since people traveled to the sovereign's court to win his favor.
