Talk:cruscire

The Late Latin word supposedly derived from Germanic, meant "to crackle", and had as descendants the Anglo-Norman verb "" and the English verb "crush".

RFV
A supposed Latin verb (presumable infinitive of crusco:). I can see lots of mentions in etymologies (all copies of each other) but no actual usage. SemperBlotto 08:39, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd say infinitive of, if attestable I mean. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:54, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's the mediaeval Latin form of Old French croissir:, Spanish crujir:, Italian crosciare:. Du Cange uses it in his glossary in the 17th century; clearly, it was never used in classical Latin. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 10:14, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It may be in a glossary, but it's not listed in any of the leading modern compendia of Medieval Latin vocabulary. It's not in Latham or Niermeyer.  It may be a dictionary-only word, as I can't seem to find it used anywhere outside of glossaries or dictionaries until 1851, where I find a single (ecclesiastical) use. --EncycloPetey 03:48, 16 November 2010 (UTC)


 * So, RFV-failed (only used once)... but rather than deleting it, should we move it to Appendix:Latin dictionary-only terms? - -sche (discuss) 18:34, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * RFV-failed. Content moved to talk page; this discussion will also be moved to the talk page; thus will the information be preserved. - -sche (discuss) 04:58, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Couple of notes
In this version of the Roman de Brut, the editor links Anglo-Norman back to Latin. Unrelatedly, if there is one citation of, then it meets CFI. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
