Etymology

From Old Welsh groen, from Proto-Brythonic *krʉn, from Proto-Celtic *kroknom, syncope of *krokkenom (compare Cornish kroghen, Breton kroc'hen, Old Irish croiccenn), of unknown origin.[1] Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“cut off”),[2] although this gave corwg and ysgaru.
