Word origin
The term 'corsair' originated from the French word 'corsaire', which in turn came from the Italian 'corsaro', ultimately derived from the Latin 'cursus' meaning 'course' or 'journey'. The concept of corsairs dates back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, when they were privateers or pirates authorized by their government to attack enemy ships. Over time, the term has also been associated with the brand of computer peripherals, reflecting a blend of piracy and modern technology.
