Etymology
The term 'croupy' originates from the word 'croup,' which has its roots in Middle English 'croupe,' referring to a disease characterized by a hoarse cough and difficulty in breathing, primarily seen in children. The word 'croup' itself likely comes from Scots 'croup', which relates to the throat condition. The comparative form 'croupiest' thus conveys a comparison among various states of 'croupy' conditions or qualities. Over time, the application of 'croupy' has expanded beyond medical vocabulary and can be used metaphorically to describe something that has qualities deemed as subpar or inferior.
