Usage notes
The adjective cruciātus had been used in the sense of "marked with a cross" from the 12th century; as a noun, cruciātus (often spelled with x in Middle Latin, cruxatus, croxatus, etc., also ) was used of crusaders by the mid 13th century, from their practice of attaching a cloth cross symbol to their clothing.
