Etymology of CHARTER

The word "charter" originates from the Old English word "cearter" or "cyrtel", which both mean a document or written evidence. These words are derived from the Latin word "chartula", which means a little paper or document. "Chartula" comes from the root word "charta", meaning paper or document, which was borrowed from the Greek word "khartēs".
