▪ I. crutched, ppl. a.1|ˈkrʌtʃɪd|
Formerly crouched.
[f. ME. crouch n.1 cross, crouchen, crouch v.2 to sign with the cross, to cross. The original long ū has been shortened before the consonant group: cf. Dutch, formerly Douch.]
Having or bearing a cross. Crutched or Crouched (also Crossed) Crutched Friars (Fratres cruciferi or Sanctæ Crucis): a minor order of friars so called from their bearing or wearing a cross.
According to Hospinianus (de Orig. Monach. v. xv. (1609) 163) they were bound to a rule in 1169; but they first appeared in England in 1244, their rule having been ‘confirmed’ by Pope Innocent IV in 1243. They then bore a cross upon the top of their staves, but subsequently wore a cross of scarlet cloth on the breast of their habit, which Pope Pius II in 1460 appointed to be blue. They were suppressed in 1656. See Newcourt Repertorium (1708) I. 328.
