Syllable Decomposition
corniaud(1929) probably derived from corne (in the sense of 'corner', the corniaud being a dog born on the street corners) with originally the suffix -eau (corneau). It was reinterpreted dialectally with the suffix -iau (corniau), before being confused with the suffix -ot (corniot) and then the suffix -aud, which is the most common spelling today.
