curdn.Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a word inherited from Germanic. Perhaps a borrowing from early Scandinavian. Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps (i) the reflex of an unattested Old English noun < an ablaut variant (zero-grade) of the base of Old English crūdan to press (see crowd v.1), although the phonological development is unclear because the expected stem vowel would be o not u (compare from the same base the second element of Old English lind-gecrod shield-bearing troop, lind-croda press of shields, battle), or perhaps (ii) < early Scandinavian (compare Norwegian regional krodda boiled cheese, krodde dregs, curds, related (apparently with expressive gemination) to Norwegian regional krota to form into lumps, coagulate, curdle, (Nynorsk) kroda to huddle together), ultimately < an ablaut variant (zero-grade) of the Germanic base of crowd v.1; compare also Shetland Scots (rare) kroddins (plural) curds (early 20th cent.: < the unattested Norn cognate of Norwegian regional krodde, with suffixed definite article).It has been suggested that Early Irish gruth curds (Irish gruth , Scottish Gaelic gruth ) is ultimately related to the Germanic word, but this is disputed. The β. forms show metathesis of r . The α. forms are now regional; Eng. Dial. Dict. records the form crud in widespread use from Scotland, northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the north of England, the north and west midlands, and the south-west; it is also found in some varieties of North American regional English.
