A variant or alternative name, possibly an archaic term for a specific object or concept in historical contexts.
The etymology is uncertain; it may derive from Old French or Latin roots, but historical documentation is sparse and meaning has shifted over centuries of usage.
Many single-letter or short variants in medieval English turned out to be regional dialects or scribal abbreviations—'coran' might be a scribe's shorthand that later readers mistook for a real word.
