proper noun/kɔʁs/
Corsica (an island and administrative region of France, in the Mediterranean to the north of Sardinia)
Related: Corse-du-Sud, Haute-Corse, l'ogre de Corse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur-Corse
Inherited from Latin Corsica. The Latin suffix -ica was muted in French because it was unstressed. Compare Middle French Corsique, a learned borrowing.
