crannyn.¹

Brit.

/ˈkrani/, U.S.

/ˈkræni/

Forms: (Middle English crayne), Middle English–1600s crany, 1500s–1600s cranie, craney, 1600s crannie, cranney, ( craine), 1600s– cranny.

Etymology: apparently related to French cran (in Cotgrave cren) ‘a notch, cleft, niche, or jag’, a crack in metal, a transverse fissure in strata, etc.; but the etymology and form-history present many difficulties. French cren , cran is in Walloon cren , and is associated with Romansh crenna , Lombard crena . It is referred by Darmesteter to a popular Latin *crennum , supposed to be related to *crena a word formerly attributed to Pliny, but now considered as a textual error. No early example of the French word is known [see however crenel n. ]; Palsgrave translates ‘cranny’ by crevasse. The form of the English word makes its French derivation doubtful, as this does not account for the termination. The form crayne in Promp. Parv. is a scribal error for cranye (see ref. under Crauas), and craine in Minsheu is apparently merely copied from it.

A small narrow opening or hole; a chink, crevice, crack, fissure.
