Origin

Middle English (meaning 'having manners fit for a royal court'): from Old French corteis, based on Latin cohors 'yard, retinue' (see court). The change in the ending in the 16th century was due to association with words ending in -eous.

Medieval courts were associated with good manners, hence the early meaning of courteous, ‘having manners fit for a royal court’. It derived from Old French corteis, based on cort ‘court’. Courtesy (Middle English), ‘the showing of politeness towards others’, is from the same root, and got shortened to produce curtsey (early 16th century). Court itself is from the same period and goes back to Latin cohors which had, as the English word has, the senses of both ‘courtyard’ and ‘retinue’, and is the source of the word cohort (Late Middle English) originally a tenth of a Roman legion.
