(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The word may also be used to refer to the person who sits as assistant chairman at the lower end of the table at a dinner party.
The modern usage derives from Old French, where it referred to the hindmost person of two riding the same horse. The word croup referred to the rump of a quadruped; a person who rides behind another person on a horse is seated on the animal's rump, hence the name.
