Forms: Also Middle English krone, 1500s croen, 1500s–1600s croane, 1600s chrone.

Etymology: In the sense ‘old ewe’ the word appears to be related to early modern Dutch kronje , karonje , ‘adasia, ouis vetula, rejecula’ (Kilian), believed to be the same word as karonje , kronje , Middle Dutch caroonje , croonje carcass, < Northern French carogne carcass: see carrion n. and adj. As applied to a woman, it may be an English transferred application of ‘old ewe’ (though the evidence for the latter does not yet carry it back so early); but it was more probably taken directly < Old Northern French carogne (Picard carone, Walloon coronie) ‘a cantankerous or mischievous woman’, cited by Littré from 14th cent. Apparently rare in the 18th cent., till revived by Southey, Scott, and their contemporaries.
