Etymology

According to the Romanian etymological dictionary, a borrowing from Latin corpus (through a German [Term?] or Russian intermediate Korpus in the 18th century and French corps later in the 19th century). The Megleno-Romanian equivalent, also corp, seems to be directly inherited from Latin, however.[1]
