keurs

From Middle Dutch kuerse, probably borrowed via Middle High German kürsen (“fur garment”), from Old High German kursina (“fur”), from Old East Slavic кꙋрьзно (kurĭzno), from Proto-Slavic *kъrzьno (“fur coat”) (whence Russian корзно́ (korznó, “coat with fur trimming”)).

Compare Middle Low German korse, Middle High German kürse, as well as Middle Dutch corsene, Old High German chursinna, crusina, Middle High German kürsen, German Kürschner (“furrier”), Old English crusne.
