Etymology

The word 'cording' derives from the late Middle English term โ€˜cordeโ€™, which evolved from the Old French โ€˜cordeโ€™ meaning 'string'. The concept of cording in music emerged alongside the development of musical instruments that utilized strings to produce sound. Over time, the term became synonymous with the creation of chords, especially in Western music theory. The practice of cording has roots in early music forms, where harmony was explored in medieval and Renaissance compositions. As music evolved, so did the techniques used for cording, leading to various styles and genres that utilize complex chord structures.
