From Proto-Indo-Aryan *kŕ̥ps, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kŕ̥ps, from Proto-Indo-European *kérp-s ~ *kr̥p-é-s, from *krep- (“body”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬐𐬆𐬵𐬭𐬞𐬇𐬨 (kəhrpə̄m), Middle Persian klp (kirb, “body, form”), Latin corpus, Old Armenian որովայն (orovayn) and Old English hrif (whence English riff).

  1. beautiful appearance, beauty, splendour
    • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 6.15.5:
      पावकया यश्चितयन्त्या कृपा क्षामन्रुरुच उषसो न भानुना ।
      pāvakayā yaścitayantyā kṛpā kṣāmanruruca uṣaso na bhānunā.

Etymology 2

Often taken to be inherited from Proto-Indo-European *krep-, *kʷrep- (“to be grumpy; to moan”), and compared with Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬭𐬀𐬞𐬀𐬥 (karapan, “anti-Zoroastrian priest, teacher”), Khwarezmian (krb-, “to moan, mumble, babble”), Parthian (kyrbg, “pious”), Middle Persian (krpk /⁠kirbag⁠/, “virtue, good deed”), Latin crepō (“to crack, creak”), and Russian кропота́ть (kropotátʹ, “to grumble, be grumpy”). The semantic divergence of these words is difficult to explain, however.
