Meaning & usage
a tether or spancel binding an animal’s horn or neck to its foreleg
Where this word comes from
The current standard spelling suggests corn (“horn”) + nasc (“tether”), but corn usually refers to “horn” as a musical instrument or for drinking, not the horn still attached to the animal, which is adharc. Other spellings suggest a compound of crobh (“clawed foot, paw”) + nasc or crom (“bent over”) + nasc. However, any or all of these may be folk etymologies.
