Etymology

Usually derived from κρότος (krótos, beating) as "beating of the veins in the temples". Furnée connects it with κόρση (kórsē, temple). Maybe from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF..
