Etymology of corpus, corps, shear

Origin of corpus, corps, shear
The Latin word corpus derives from the Greek Aeolic form corpos of the word cormos (trunk of a tree), which comes from the verb ceiro (to cut, to clip, to shear; κείρω). The trunk of a tree was called cormos, since the leafs, the branches and the boughs of a tree were cut off from the main body of the tree.

From the same root
English: corps, corporal, corporation, incorporate, corset, corporality, corporeal, corporealize, corporeity, corpse, corpulence, corpuscle, shear
French: corps, corporel, corporation, corsage, echarper
Italian: corpo, corporale, corporatione, corsetto
German: Korper, Korporal, Korps, Korporation, scheren
Spanish: cuerpo, corporal, corporacion, corse.

In modern Greek (Romeika, the language of Romei – Romans/Ρωμηοί)
a) ceiro: cut somebody’s hair, barber, shear [κείρω]
b) cormos: trunk of a tree, torso [κορμός]
c) curevo: cut somebody’s hair, barber [κουρεύω]
d) curio: barbershop [κουρείο]
e) cerma: coin [κέρμα]

NOTE1: Some etymologize corpus from the Greek word chroos (gen. of chros: body, skin; χρώς). Words from this root in modern Greek: χροιά, χρώμα, χρωστήρας, χρωτίζω, χρωματίζω.

NOTE2: Some etymologize the word shore from the verb shear as the shore devides the land from the sea.

Etymology of Claus (Santa Claus)

Etymology of Claus

Claus came from the Dutch Klaas, from Middle Dutch Niklaas, which derives from the Greek name Nikolas (or Nicholas) from Nikolaos. Nikolaos is a combination of two words, namely, Nike (victory) and Laos (people). So Nikolaos literally means victory of the people.

The real Saint Nicholas (Gr.: Ayios Nikolaos; Άγιος Νικόλαος) (15/Mar/270 – 6/Dec/346) is the common name for Nicholas of Myra, a saint and Bishop of Myra (in Asia Minor). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him.

In modern Greek
a) Nikolaos (shrt.: Nikos): Nicholas, Nick [Νικόλαος]
b) Nike: victory, nike [Νίκη]
c) Laos: people [Λαός]

Το όνομα Claus (όπως στο Santa Claus) προέρχεται από το Ολλανδικό Klaas, από το Niklaas, το οποίο προέρχεται από το Ελληνικό όνομα Νικόλαος.

Nikolaos (Νικόλαος) –> Nikolas –> Niklaas –> Klaas –> Claus
