creemv.

/kriːm/
Forms: Also cream, crim.
Etymology: Of obscure etymology: possibly two or even three distinct words are here included. The various senses belong to distinct parts of England. The variant crim has suggested identity with Old English crimman to squeeze, press (compare sense 2); but the evidence does not show that crim is the earlier form, rather the contrary: and it is not easy to see how creem with its long vowel could arise from the ablaut series krim-, kram, krum-.
