===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|en|/ˈkɔːnə(ɹ)/|a=RP}}
* {{IPA|en|/ˈkwoɹnɚ/|a=GA}}
* {{audio|en|en-us-corner.ogg|a=US}}
* {{hyph|en|cor|ner}}
* {{rhymes|en|ɔː(ɹ)nə(ɹ)|s=2}}

===Etymology 1===
{{root|en|ine-pro|*ḱerh₂-}}
From {{inh|en|enm|corner}}, from {{der|en|xno|cornere}} (compare {{cog|fro|cornier}}, {{m|fro|corniere|t=corner}}), from {{der|en|fro|corne|t=corner, angle|lit=a horn, projecting point}}, from {{der|en|VL.|*corna|t=horn}}, from {{der|en|la|cornua}}, plural of {{m|la|cornū|t=projecting point, end, horn}}. The sense of "angle, corner" in Old French is not found in Latin or other Romance languages. It was possibly calqued from {{cog|frk|*hurnijā|t=corner, angle}}, which is similar to, and derived from {{m|frk|*hurn}}, the Frankish word for "horn". Displaced native cognate {{cog|enm|hirn}}, {{m|enm|herne}}, from {{cog|ang|hyrne}}, from {{cog|gem-pro|*hurnijǭ|t=little horn, hook, angle, corner}}, whence modern {{m+|en|hirn|t=nook, corner}}, itself related to {{m|en|horn}}.
