Etimologie (Engels)

Likely via Italian corsale (“corsair, privateer”) from Medieval Latin cursārius (“pirate, sea-raider”), from Latin cursus (“course, a running; plunder, hostile inroad”), with the Arabic + ـَان (-ān) suffix. Cognate with English corsair or German Korsar. With the derived terms قَرْصَنَ (qarṣana) and قَرْصَنَة (qarṣana) it forms a root ق ر ص ن (q r ṣ n).
