What's "Cor" mean

I'm reading Lori Summer's second Paradigm of Uncertainty 
installment. She uses "Cor" as some kind of exclamation for 
her characters (well, JKR's characters mostly, with a few 
of her own added). What I want to know is what does it mean? 
Is it an elation, disgust, or what kind of utterance? And 
does anybody know if it derives from some word, like... I 
don't know... "correct" or something.

By the by, is it used any more, or was it in vogue for a 
while and then fell out of vogue? (I've only read PoU, and 
parts of Cassie Clare's "Draco Dormiens", as far as fanfic 
goes. I just can't get into it.)

Thanks,
Mike
