Please note: The word croup has two meanings, the other is that of a condition characterized by inflammation and consequent narrowing of the larynx, occurring especially in young children, the main symptoms of which are a hoarse cough, difficulty in breathing and fever. This word, however, was developed in the 18c by imitation of the sound.
