Etymology
Apparently from a Proto-Indo-European *krut-neh₂-, from a root *krewt- (“to snore, roar”) with no certain cognates outside of Germanic. The connection with lexicographically attested Ancient Greek κροῦμαι (kroûmai, “snot”) is dubious.[1] More likely, per Orel, to be an onomatopoeic formation within Germanic (though he only notes this for the derivative *hrūtaną).[2]
