Etimologia (Anglès)

Heretat de anglès mitjà: -

In summary

From Middle English, from earlier corse, from Old French cors, from Latin corpus (“body”).
Displaced native English likam and English lich. The ⟨p⟩ was inserted due to the original Latin spelling. Doublet of corps and corpus, and distantly of riff. The verb sense derives from the notion of being unable to control laughter while acting as dead body.
