Etymology 1
[edit]Uncertain. Traditionally related to Ancient Greek κράδη (krádē, “twig, spray; swing, crane in the drama”), but unlikely as the concordant sense of swing is metaphorical and likely too recent. Or from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerd- (“to move, sway, swing, jump”) and so cognate with Proto-Germanic *herzô (“bar, pivot, hinge”) (whence English har (“hinge”)). Compare in any case Old High German scerdo (“hinge”).[1]
Noun
[edit]cardō m (genitive cardinis); third declension
- hinge (of a door or gate), usually a pivot and socket in Roman times.
- (by extension) a tenon, mortice, or socket
- A street, that ran north-south, in a Roman town or military camp
- (figuratively) turning point, critical moment or action
- (figuratively) the symbolism of the hinge in ancient Roman religion and myth
- (astronomy) a pole
