Etimologie (Engels)

From cornū (“horn”) + -tus (adjective-forming suffix). The connection between "having horns" and "cuckolded" is found across many languages, cf. English horned, German Hörner aufsetzen, Turkish boynuzlamak and in all Romance languages. The origin of this connection is disputed.
