karossn.

/kəˈrɒs/

Forms: α. 1700s krosse, cross, 1700s–1800s kross; β. 1700s– kaross, 1800s caross, karross.

Etymology: < South African karos.Not a Bantu word, and apparently not Khoekhoe. In W. Ten Rhyne's vocabulary of 1673 (in Churchill's Voy. IV. 845) ‘Karos colobium’ (i.e. a jacket without sleeves or with arm~holes) is placed among the ‘Corrupt Dutch Words’, which are separated from the ‘Original Hottentot Words’. In Sparrman's Voy. 1772–6 (see quot. 1785 at α. ) it is called ‘broken Dutch’. P. Kolbe (1745, in Astley's Voyages III. 351) gives the name of kut-kros to the skin-apron worn by women, and kul-kros to that of the men: in these the first element is Dutch. But it has not been ascertained of what Dutch word kros or karos could be a corruption. Mr. James Platt, to whom these data for the history of the word are due, has suggested the possibility of its representing Dutch kuras, or Portuguese couraça, Spanish coraza, cuirass. (Ten Rhyne's ‘Corrupt Dutch Words’ include krallen, kraal, really from Spanish corral, Portuguese curral.) See Notes & Queries 9th Ser. V. 125, 236; Athenæum 19 May 1900.) But Hesseling, Het Afrikaansch (Leiden 1899) 81, thinks the word is Khoekhoe.

A mantle (or sleeveless jacket) made of the skins of animals with the hair on, used by the Khoekhoe and other rural indigenous peoples of South Africa.
