[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English], from Anglo-French curt, court, from [[Latin]] cohort-, cohors enclosure, [[group]], retinue, cohort, from co- + -hort-, -hors (akin to hortus garden) —  

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 verb "to court", [[meaning]] to win favor, derives from the same source since people traveled to the sovereign's court to win his favor.
