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.

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. 7 Samuel 2:36.

To sign with the cross; to bless.
