Why did Oxford Language get caught in another word origin Lie?
Facts about Oxford Language
1) Google’s English dictionary is provided by Oxford Languages.
2) Oxford Languages is the world’s leading dictionary publisher, with over 150 years of experience creating and delivering authoritative dictionaries globally in more than 50 languages.
Corner: noun a place or angle where two or more sides or edges meet
Three Letters. Three Languages. One Root.
According to Google Oxford result, Oxford would have the masses to believe that the English word "Corner" comes from the Latin language. Nothing could be further from the truth! The word "Corner" having a three letter root C-R-N goes back to Aramaic language. The C-R-N root can also be found in the Hebrew and Aramaic Languages. In what way Oxford languages sees itself as an authoritative on dictionaries is beyond me! Stop lying Oxford!!!

This is really interesting and if anyone has better sources than Wiki Etymology please share! According to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%82%D8%B1%D9%86 and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/corner -- قرن means horn, and the proto-Semitic origin is "to be folded, doubled, opposed, equal"and قرن may come from Greek (χρόνος time). So this doesn't mean that English didn't come through Latin cornua. It might mean that it came from Latin, which came from Arabic (which might have come from Greek?). So now I'm wondering if there is more solid evidence on which was the original.
