Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From crīnis (“hair”) + -ītus (“-ed”), possibly originally formed by combining an instrumental singular case-form ending in *-ih₁ + -tus.[1] In form, the word can be interpreted as a participle of a fourth-conjugation verb crīniō (“to cover, as if with hair”); as this is rare and usually used only in the sense of foliage, the verb is probably a back-formation from the adjective.
