crewn.¹

Brit.

/kruː/, U.S.

/kru/

Forms: Middle English–1600s crue, Middle English–1500s crewe, 1500s– crew.

Etymology: < Old French creue increase, augmentation, reinforcement, noun feminine < past participle of croistre to grow, increase, etc.; perhaps in part aphetic form of acrewe , accrue n., which easily became a crue. Documentary evidence for acrewe (in English) is not known of so early a date as that for crewe. In the general sense, both words go back to an early date in Old French; but in the special sense ‘military reinforcement’ Godefroy's examples of creue, acreue are only of 1554–8.

I. Generally: a body of people assembled together, and related uses.

†1. An augmentation or reinforcement of a military force; hence, a body of soldiers organized for a particular purpose, as to garrison a fortress, for an expedition, campaign, etc.; a band or company of soldiers. Obsolete.
