кортик on Russian Wikipedia

Attested early 18th century in correspondence regarding Russia's purchase of weapons from Western Europe. The etymology is uncertain; there are several hypotheses.

• Borrowed fromDutchkortesabel(“short saber”) +-ик(-ik,diminutive suffix).
• From the obsolete termко́рда(kórda,“short sword”) +‎-ик(-ik), fromOld East Slavicкордъ(kordŭ), ultimately fromMiddle Persian;Vasmer considered this unlikely due to the change from д to т; but comparePolishkordzik andPolishkord(“cutlass”).
• PerVasmer andTrubachyov, apartial calque ofItaliancortello, a dialectal form ofcoltello(“knife”), with the Italian diminutive suffix-ello mapping to-ик(-ik).

• IPA^(key):[ˈkortʲɪk]
