Swedish

Etymology

From Old Swedish krogher, from Middle Low German krôch, from Proto-Germanic *kranhō (“corner”), which according to Kroonen could be related to *kringaną (“to turn, yield”). However, it could otherwise be from Proto-Germanic *kragan- (“throat”), probably from Proto-Indo-European *gʷrogʰ-, which could be related to Ancient Greek βρόχθος (brókhthos, “throat”); similar sense development is found in Latin, where gurgustium (“pub, hut”) is related to gurges (“whirlpool, abyss”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /kruːɡ/

• audio

  (file)

Noun

krog c

1. an inn, a pub
2. a restaurant where the serving of alcohol is at least as important as the food

Usage notes

• Bit more rustic or everyday-sounding compared to bar, and usually implies (more or less decent) restaurant food being available.
• Though not implied, also used for fancier restaurants, notably in the compound stjärnkrog.
