Chorda (spelling with ch):

In anatomy, chorda simply means "cord" (tendon, string, gut, ropelike structures). There are several chordae in the body. In the heart, chordae tendineae are thin connective tissue cords that attach atrioventricular valve cusps to papillary mm.

Chorda umbilicalis = umbilical cord.

Chorda obliqua = oblique ligament.

Chorda tympani - facial nerve.

Etc.
