Annotations

Etymology: from ME croupe < MF, AF crupe, OF crope < Gmc

Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Croup

Please note: The word croup has two meanings, the other is that of a condition characterized by inflammation and consequent narrowing of the larynx, occurring especially in young children, the main symptoms of which are a hoarse cough, difficulty in breathing and fever. This word, however, was developed in the 18c by imitation of the sound.
