craven词源

craven

craven: [13] Craven originally meant simply ‘defeated’, and only gradually came to have the pejorative sense ‘cowardly’. It probably came from Old French cravante ‘defeated’, the past participle of the verb cravanter, which in turn came via Vulgar Latin *crepantāre from Latin crepāre; this meant ‘creak, rattle, crack’ (hence the English technical term crepitation [17]) but also secondarily ‘burst’ or ‘break’.=> crepitation, crevice, decrepit

craven (adj.)

early 13c., cravant, perhaps from Old French crevante \"defeated,\" past participle of cravanter \"to strike down, to fall down,\" from Latin crepare \"to crack, creak.\" Sense affected by crave and moved from \"defeated\" to \"cowardly\" (c. 1400) perhaps via intermediary sense of \"confess oneself defeated.\" Related: Cravenly; cravenness.
