It seems as if the word core is of uncertain origin, etymologically speaking. It either derives from cuer/cor (Old French/Latin), meaning "heart" or cors/corpus, meaning "body". Cor/Kor is also the word stem or word for "coir" in several languages.
COR is built on a collage of these aspects, where the intention is to shed light (or darkness if you will) on their existential unity.
