From Latin cardō (“hinge, astronomical pole”), hence, north-south line.

cardo m (plural cardi)

1. The principal north-south street in Roman cities or encampments

• cadrò, corda, croda

Uncertain. Traditionally related to κράδη (krádē, “twig, spray; swing, crane in the drama”), but unlikely as the concordant sense of swing is metaphorical and likely too recent. Or from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerd- (“to move, sway, swing, jump”) and so cognate with English har (“hinge”).
