/kreɪz/, U.S.

/kreɪz/

Forms: Middle English–1600s crase, Middle English– crayse, 1500s–1600s craise, 1500s– craze.

Etymology: A fuller form acrase , acraze v., is known in 16th cent.; if this existed earlier, the probability would be that crase was aphetic for acrase, and this < Old French acraser, variant of écraser. The latter is supposed to be of Norse origin: compare Swedish krasa to crackle, slå i kras to dash in pieces. If not aphetic for acrase, the English crase may be immediately from the Scandinavian word.
