Origin:
The word "core" has its origins in the Proto-Indo-European root "*ḱr̥neh₂-", which referred to a point or horn. This root is also found in other Indo-European languages, such as Sanskrit "śṛṅgam" (horn) and Latin "cornū" (horn).
In Germanic languages, the Proto-Indo-European root evolved into the Proto-Germanic form "*kurna-", which meant "horn". This form eventually gave rise to the Old English word "cōr", which referred to the hard, pointed center of a fruit or vegetable.
In Middle English, "cor" evolved into "core", which came to be used more generally to refer to the central or essential part of something. This sense of the word was reinforced by the figurative use of "core" to refer to the heart or center of a person or thing.
