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

  1. hinge (of a door or gate), usually a pivot and socket in Roman times.
  2. (by extension) a tenon, mortice, or socket
  3. A street, that ran north-south, in a Roman town or military camp
  4. (figuratively) turning point, critical moment or action
  5. (figuratively) the symbolism of the hinge in ancient Roman religion and myth
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 6.101–102:
      Prīma diēs tibi, Carnā, datur. dea cardinis haec est:
      nūmine clausa aperit, claudit aperta suō.
      The first day [of June] is being given to you, Carna. This is the goddess of the hinge: by her divine power she opens the closed, [and] closes the opened.
      (Ovid conflates the June festival of the goddess Carna with the mythology of Cardea; see also Janus and Hinge.)
  6. (astronomy) a pole
