German _krumm_, Danish _krumme_, Gael. and Welsh _crom_, curving or bending, we may take the following. The root seems to be found in the Sansc. _kram_, to move, to go, which, as in other similar cases, may also diverge into the meaning of rapidity. 1. _England._ The CRUMM(OCK), formerly CRUM(BECK), which forms the lake of the same name. _Germany._ CRUMB(AHA), 10th cent., now the GRUMB(ACH). _Russia._ The KROMA. Gov. Orel. 2. _With the ending en._ _Germany._ CHRUMBIN(BACH), 8th cent., now the KRUM(BACH). 3. _With the ending er._ _Italy._ CREMERA ant. in Etruria. 4. _With the ending es._ _Germany._ The KREMS. Joins the Danube. _Sicily._ CREMISUS ant. For the root _sid_ we have the Welsh _sid_, winding, and the Anglo-Saxon _sîd_, broad, spreading. The former is, I think, the sense contained in the following, though both words may be from the same root. 1. _England._ The SID. Devonshire. 2. _With the ending en._ _England._ The SEATON. Cornwall. 3. _With the ending rn, p. 34._ _Switzerland._ SITERUNA, 8th cent., now the SITTER or SITTERN. Baxter's derivation of the Derwent from Welsh _derwyn_, to wind, appears to me the most suitable. That of Zeuss (taking the form Druentia), from _dru_, oak, seems insufficient; because the number of names, all in the same form, seem to indicate that the word contained must be something more than _dru_. That of Armstrong, from _dear_, great, _amhain_, river, is founded upon a careless hypothesis that the Derwent of Cumberland is the largest river in the North of England, which is not by any means the case. _England._ The DERWENT. Four rivers. TREONTA ant. The TRENT. _France._ DRUENTIA ant., now the DURANCE. _Germany._ The DREWENZ. Prussia. _Italy._ TRUENTIUS ant., now the TRENTO. _Russia._ TURUNTUS ant., now the DUNA.
