The word spine derives from the Latin word spina=backbone.
The word cord derives from the Greek word χορδή = string of a musical instrument (it found its way into English via Latin, in which it was changed into chorda).
However, the combination of the two words into "spinal cord" is a purely English coinage. The Romans used "spinalis medulla" which is a translation of the Greek term νωτιαίος μυελός, meaning "the marrow of the spine."
