(Redirected from Crones)
Crone, which means 'a withered, old woman', is first attested in Chaucer in the late fourteenth century (although there are earlier uses as a name). The word comes from the Anglo-French word carogne, itself from Old North French, which literally meant 'carrion' but also meant 'a cantankerous woman'. [1][2] See also: Hag
