crusade
English
Alternative forms
- (medieval history): Crusade
Etymology
From French croisade, introduced in English (in the French spelling) by 1575. The modern spelling emerges c. 1760,. Middle French croisade is introduced in the 15th century, based on Spanish cruzada (late 14th century) and Old Occitan crozada (early 13th century), both reflecting Medieval Latin cruci?ta, cruxiata, the feminine singular of the adjective cruci?tus used as an abstract noun.
Adjectival cruci?tus originally meant "tormented; crucified", but from the 12th century was also used for "marked with a cross; making the sign of the cross" and eventually "taking the cross" in the sense of "going on a crusade".
Old Occitan crozada is used in the sense "[the Albigensian] crusade" in the Song of the Albigensian crusade, written c. 1213. From vernacular usage, Middle Latin cruci?ta also comes to be used in the sense "crusade" from about 1270.
