корзина

There is no satisfactory etymology for this East Slavic isogloss. Usually compared to Latvian kur̃zа (“bark box for berries, basket of twigs”), kurzulis (“a type of sleigh”). Possibly borrowed from an unknown Dnieper Baltic dialect. Partially replaced короб.

A Norse origin (cf. Swedish korg and similar forms) is dismissed by Vasmer.
