See creper in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ˈkrɛ.pɛr] [Classical-Latin], [ˈkrɛː.per] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Of uncertain origin; proposed derivations include: * From a Proto-Indo-European root common to Albanian ngrys (“to have dinner, to darken”, verb). * From a root common to Ancient Greek κνέφας (knéphas, “darkness”). * From a root common to Ancient Greek κρύπτω (krúptō, “to hide”) or Lithuanian krópti (“to steal”). Varro believes it was borrowed from Sabine (see quotes).
