Etymology: "Croakings" is the plural of "croaking," so it is simply the plural of the noun for the hoarse, low-pitched sound made in the throat. The base word is formed from "croak," a verb imitating the harsh call of a frog or raven, and the "-ing" ending turns the sound into a thing that can be heard, and the plural adds the sense of many such calls at once.

Synonyms: caws, calls
