Etymology of COUSE

The word "couse" is a now-archaic term that was used in the Middle Ages to refer to a course or a path. Its etymology is derived from the Old French term "cours" which means a course or a running. The Old French term, in turn, originates from the Latin word "cursus", which also means a course or a running. Both the Old French and Latin words share the same Proto-Indo-European root "kors-" which means to run. Over time, the spelling of "couse" has evolved, and the word is no longer in common usage in modern English.
