crott

Old Irish[edit]

From Proto-Celtic *kruttos (“string instrument, womb, round object”), whence Welsh crwth (“fiddle, hump”), Breton kourzh (“vagina”), and Cornish crothak (“abdomen, uterus”). Further origin unclear, perhaps related to Latvian krūtis (“breast, bust”),^[1]^[2] or to Proto-Celtic *krundis (“round”).^[3]
