Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗A three-month unit of television broadcasting, corresponding to one of the four seasons. · A portion of a television program aired over the course of one such period, usually comprising around 10 to 14 weekly episodes.
Back-formation from cours from Japanese クール (kūru), from French cours. Attestable in English among the anime community from at least 2007. Anime News Network's Lexicon Encyclopedia dictates the original cours to be unchanged in singular form, though that has been reanalyzed as a plural form.
