cream

  1. (milk) flos lactis
  2. (skin) unguenturn
    • Lev.
  3. cramum
    • Alb. I
  4. crâmum
    • Helf., s.v. Sahnequark, Schlagsahne; Cramum nullo in lexico inveni, sive antiquae sive mediae Latinitatis, nisi in Alberti Blaise priore; usurpatum est Venantio Fortunato uno in loco; ambigitur tam de vocabuli significatu quam de modo scribendi (cramum an crama), ut accidere solet in απαξ λεγόμενοις. Memorant etiam Ernout-Meillet et Walde-Hoffman, eundem Fortunati locum afferentes. Hoc pseudolexidion, ut ita dicam, Saravici videntur in medium proposuisse etymologis fisi quibusdam, qui illinc vocabulum Gallicum crème deducunt. At haec etymologia plus quam dubia est; ab OED non accipitur, iure quidem, quando crama ex mutationum phoneticarum normis in sermone Gallico vigentibus necessario, ni fallor, craime dedisset (ita aime ab ama[t], haim ab hamo); scribebatur autem medio aevo cresme, quod vocabulum chrismate exortum videtur, ut exponitur apud OED aliosque.
