Etymology

Borrowed from Polish: horda

Cognate with Tatar: урда

Cognate with Turkish: ordu

Cognate with Kalmyk: орда

In summary

Likely from Polish horda, from Russian орда́ (ordá, “horde, clan, troop”), which may come directly from Mongolian or from West Turkic (compare Tatar урда (urda, “horde”), Turkish ordu (“camp, army”)), from Mongolian орду (ordu, “court, camp, horde”); akin to Kalmyk орда (orda).
