Etymology

The word 'corded' derives from the noun 'cord,' which comes from the Latin 'chorda,' meaning 'a string or rope.' Over time, the term evolved into Old French as 'corde,' which retained the notion of string but became more associated with thicker, durable lengths of material used for various purposes. As technology advanced, particularly with the rise of electrical devices in the 19th century, the word began to be used in a new context, referring to the physical wires and cables that connect devices to power sources or to one another. 'Corded' has since become a standard term in both consumer electronics and home appliances, signifying a reliance on wired connections for functionality.
