Irish
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- crothnaigh (“miss”)
- cronuigh, crothnuigh (obsolete)
Etymology
[edit]From Middle Irish cronaigid (“complain (of), rebuke”). By surface analysis, cron (“fault, defect”) + -igh.
Dinneen’s dictionary distinguishes between crothnaigh (“to miss, notice (the absence of)”) and cronaigh (“blame, find fault”), so it is possible that the two senses have separate etymologies. However, it is unclear what the etymology of crothnaigh might be, as that verb is not present in the Dictionary of the Irish Language.
