Etymology
1. Borrowed from Old Northern French caroigne, carogne (charoine reflects central Old French charoigne), from Vulgar Latin *carōnia.
2. Variants with /æi̯/ probably represent the initial stage of vowel reduction; compare Boleyne, Coleyne, variants of Boloyne (“Boulogne”), Coloyne (“Cologne”), while /kariˈuːn(ə)/, /ˈkarjun(ə)/ are either hypercorrection based on the analogy of words like merleyn, variant of merlioun or, more likely, represent metathesis of the last element of the diphthong /ui̯/.
