Where this word comes from
korkea (“high”) + -o. * (heel (of a shoe)): Some dialectal forms (like korkko and korkka (“heel”)) may indicate that this sense in particular is of separate origin and akin to korkki (“cork”), but it is perhaps more likely that such forms are themselves simply contaminations of korko and korkki. Note also Estonian kork (“heel (of a shoe)”), often connected with this word, but probably separately borrowed from ultimately the same source as korkki. * (interest): Already attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (output c. 1543–1552). Could be thought of as referring to the 'rising', 'increase', 'heightening' of money. * (stress, accent): Perhaps first used this way by Elias Lönnrot in 1835.
