Etymology
1. From Late Latin cōrtīna (“curtain”).
2. The form with /ɲ/ ⟨nh⟩ represents the regular native outcome. The form with ⟨n⟩ /n/ appears to reflect influence either from Old Spanish cortina or the original Latin. Either way, it provided a means of avoiding homophony with etymology 2. See: Old Spanish Nouns '
cortina'.
