DERIVATIVES chordal adjective ORIGIN Middle English cord, from accord. The spelling change in the 18th cent. was due to confusion with chord 2.

chord
chord 2 |kɔːd | ▶noun 1 Mathematics a straight line joining the ends of an arc. 2 Aeronautics the width of an aerofoil from leading to trailing edge. 3 Engineering each of the two principal members of a truss. 4 Anatomy variant spelling of cord: the spinal chord. 5 literary a string on a harp or other instrument.

ORIGIN mid 16th cent.

Cord meaning ‘string or rope made from twisted strands ’ is etymologically related to the second chord but is now regarded as a distinct word. The anatomical term generally uses the spelling cord (as in spinal cord and vocal cord ), although chord is an acceptable variant.
