cordovanadj.n.

/ˈkɔːdəvan/

Forms: Also (1500s corduban), 1600s cordovant, 1600s–1700s cordevan, cordivan, cordevant, cordivant, ( cordiaunt), and with capital initial.

Etymology: < Spanish cordován (now cordobán ) ‘cordouan or Spanish leather’ (Minsheu 1599); cordováno adjective, of Cordova . The same word as cordwain n., but adopted directly < Spanish at a later date. Originally, and still dialectally, cordoˈvan ; the forms in -ant appear to be owing to false analogy; perhaps to association with van- , avan- , as weakened form of avant- comb. form.

A. adj.

Of or pertaining to Cordova; made of the leather there manufactured.
