CROUCH, G., to creep, to stoop, to cringe.

1. To bend down to stoop low to lie close to the ground as an animal. A dog crouches to his master a lion crouches in the thicket.
2. To bend servilely to stoop meanly to fawn to cringe.

Every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of bread. 1 Samuel 2 .

CROUCH, See Cross. To sign with the cross to bless. Not in use.
