Proto-Germanic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From pre-Germanic *kroHsos, from Proto-Indo-European *kreHs-.[1] Compare perhaps Proto-Slavic *krāsà (beauty).

Alternatively a vṛddhi derivative of *hresaną, an otherwise unreflected strong verb from Proto-Indo-European *kres-; compare *hraznō (wave) and the causative *hrōzijaną (to stir). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
