† crachounn.

Forms: Also crachon, crachun.

Obsolete.

A word of uncertain origin, frequent in Cursor Mundi, the later texts of which render it caitiff or wretch. [The only similar Old French word is crachon = French crachat ‘matter expectorated or spat out’, which gives a possible sense in the quots. There is a curious likeness in sense and form between crachoun and crathoun (crathon, craton), although so many instances of both occur that the hypothesis of an error of ch for th, or the converse, seems to be inadmissible.]
