Forms: 1800s knaupert, 1800s– knoupert, 1800s– knowpert.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: knop n.¹, wort n.¹

Etymology: Probably < knop n.¹ + wort n.¹, perhaps influenced in form by Scots (north-eastern) croupert (also kraupert, crowpert), in the same sense (second half of the 19th cent.; of uncertain origin: the first element is perhaps ultimately a variant of crop n. (compare forms at that entry)); compare also Scots (north-eastern) croupans (also croupens ) crowberry (first half of the 19th cent.). With the formation compare Danish knopurt knapweed ( < knop knop n.¹ + urt wort n.¹). Compare earlier noop n.², and also earlier crowberry n., knotberry n., nub-berry n.Compare also Scots knappart heath pea (chiefly in plural; early 19th cent.; probably < knap , Scots variant of knop n.¹ + wort n.¹).

Scottish (north-eastern).

The shrub crowberry, Empetrum nigrum; (also) the berries, or a berry, of this plant. Also in plural with singular agreement.
