Origin

Mid 16th century: from Welsh corwgl, cwrwgl, related to Scottish Gaelic and Irish curach 'small boat'; compare with currach.

corgi from [1920s]:
Not many English words derive from Welsh, but corgi is one of them, literally ‘a dwarf dog’, from Welsh cor ‘dwarf’ and ci ‘dog’. Others include coracle (mid 16th century), flummery (early 17th century) originally in the food sense from Welsh llymru, flannel (probably), and penguin.
