different between cringe vs shudder
cringe
English
Etymology
The verb is derived from Middle English crengen (“to bend in a haughty manner; to condescend”) [and other forms], from Old English *cren?an, *cren??an, *crengan (“to cause to fall or turn”), the causative of crin??an (“to yield; to cringe; to fall; to die, perish”), from Proto-Germanic *krangijan? (“to cause to fall; to cause to turn”), from Proto-Germanic *kringan?, *krinkan? (“to fall; to turn; to yield”) (from Proto-Indo-European *gren??- (“to turn”)) + *-jan? (suffix forming causatives with the sense ‘to cause to do (the action of the verb)’ from strong verbs). The English word is cognate with Danish krænge (“to turn inside out, evert”), Dutch krengen (“to careen, veer”), Scots crenge, creenge, creinge, crienge (“to cringe; to shrug”), Swedish kränga (“to careen; to heel, lurch; to toss”), and West Frisian kringe (“to pinch; to poke; to push; to insist, urge”); and is a doublet of crinkle.
The noun and adjective are derived from the verb.
