Etymology

Uncertain; possibly related to *korbos (wagon; basket),[1] (whence Old Irish corb (wagon)), though its irregular *k-bʰ root shape and a-vocalism probably point to a substrate language borrowing.[2] Perhaps cognate with Latin corbis (wicker-basket)[3] Proto-Germanic *hrepaz (basket) (Old Norse hrip, Old High German ref), Lithuanian krẽpšas (basket), kar̃bas (basket), Russian короб (korob, container).
