Where this word comes from
From Proto-Italic *korwos, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱorh₂wós, from a root *ḱorh₂- (“crow, raven”), imitative of harsh sounds; see cornīx (“crow”) for more. The word has been decomposed as from *ḱer- (compare Latin crepō (“to creak, crack”), Sanskrit कृपते (kṛ́pate, “he laments, implores”)) + *-wós (whence Latin -vus).
