Forms: 1800s sprew, 1800s sproo (Scottish), 1800s– sprue.

Origin: A borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch spruw.

Etymology: < Dutch spruw, (regional: western) sprou, sprouw, sproe (Middle Dutch sprouwe ), cognate with West Frisian spra (also spriuw , sprou , etc.), East Frisian sprö , Middle Low German sprüwe , probably < the same Germanic base as Old Dutch sprowen (Middle Dutch sproeyen , Dutch sproeien ) to spray, to sprinkle (see sprew n.¹).

Medicine.

†1. Chiefly U.S. A disease characterized by small ulcers or white spots and patches in the mouth or throat; spec. oral candidiasis (thrush). Occasionally also: the white spots or patches characteristic of this. Obsolete.The identity of the disease recorded as a cause of death in the earliest quotations is somewhat unclear, but candidiasis, which typically occurs as an opportunistic infection, may have masked the presence of less recognizable underlying diseases.
