Etymology

[edit]

Needs specific etymology for the English definition "musical instrument." 24.29.228.33 02:56, 5 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

From Middle English, from obsolete sense of verb record, meaning repeat, practice, via Old French from Latin recordari to remember, to repeat, to call to heart (seat of memory). Thanks for asking. DCDuring TALK 10:26, 5 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
