So krankheit is the German word for disease...anyone else think of Walter Cronkite, the most trusted man in American news for decades? I wonder what the origin of his name is...
"Americanized spelling of Dutch Krankheid, from an abstract noun meaning ‘weakness’, hence probably a nickname for a sickly individual."
