Etymology
Romanian "cort" is a loanword rather than an inherited Latin term. Most Romanian dictionaries trace it to a Slavic source related to Old Church Slavonic words for a hut or enclosure. The word settled into Romanian with the narrower, modern sense of a portable fabric shelter. No secure Proto-Indo-European root is claimed here, since the borrowing path is Slavic rather than direct inheritance.
