craunchcranchv.

/krɑːnʃ/

/krɔːnʃ/

Etymology: Cranch appears after 1600; in early use it varied with scranch, still given by Johnson, 1755, as retained by the Scots, and now dialectal. As in other words where initial cr- and scr- interchange (compare crab, scrab, crap, scrap, cratch, scratch), it is doubtful which of these is the original. The priority of scranch is favoured by its nearness in form and sense to some Dutch and Low German words. Compare 16th cent. Dutch, in Plantijn 1573, schranzen to split, break, evidently related to Middle High German schranz breach, split, crack, rent; in Kilian 1599 schranzen to break, tear, crush, bruise; also to chew, crush with the teeth, to comminute or grind (the food) with the teeth; modern Dutch schransen to eat voraciously, West Flemish schranzen to gnash, eat with gnashing of the teeth, to craunch; also East Frisian schrantsen, schranssen, to tear or snatch to oneself, to eat greedily. On the other hand, earlier examples are at present known of cranch , and this may, as in the parallel pair crunch , scrunch , be really the earlier form. Cranch might be an onomatopoeic modification of crash , which was used in the very same sense from 16th to 18th centuries: see quot. 1736 at sense 1 from Bailey's Folio. That association with crash, crush, has affected the word, is evidenced by the later form crunch. The original pronunciation was as in branch; the occasional pronunciation as in paunch is due to the spelling with au (chiefly since Johnson), with the obsolescence of the word in living use: compare Thoreau's spelling cronch.
