History & Origin
Krewe comes from the word krewe — a New Orleans Mardi Gras organization that hosts parades and balls (an archaic, fanciful spelling of 'crew', itself from French/Latin creue, 'a band, a company, a growth'). A bold, festive, sociable modern word-name (which we note as a recent coinage; said 'KROO').
It registers thinly in records. Rare, a-band-of-revellers at the root, and festive.
