Borrowed from Latin grūs.

Noun

[edit]

grús m (genitive singular grúis, nominative plural grúis)

  1. crane (bird of the family Gruidae)
    Synonym: corr

Usage notes

[edit]

Somewhat of a technical term. The usual word for ‘crane’ is corr, but since that word also means ‘heron’ and ‘stork’, the Latin word grūs was pressed into service as an unambiguous word for ‘crane’.
