Etymology

Ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *krodu (“toad”) of origin unknown. Compare Swedish groda (with plural ending -or). First attested in 1646 by Christen Jenssøn from Askvoll. Attested by Erik Pontoppidan in 1749, but having masculine gender. Also known in Jacob Laugesen Bork’s glossary of Vesterålen dialect from 1698, but, as many other words in the glossary, is probably taken from Trøndelag dialect, which Bork himself was speaking.
