Corr

/kɔːr/ noun

Definition

abbreviation for correlation or correspondence; also an exclamation expressing surprise

Etymology

shortened form of 'correlation' in statistical contexts, or from Irish 'cor' (odd, strange) as exclamation

Kelly Says

In statistics, 'corr' is shorthand for correlation - basically how much two things dance together mathematically. In Irish English, it's an exclamation like 'blimey!' - showing how the same letters can mean totally different things!
