Word Origin.
Latin, early 17th century

When "crepitate" was first used in the early 17th century, it meant "to break wind." That embarrassing meaning has since disappeared, but the roots remain the same: The word comes from the Latin "crepitat-" ("crackled, rustled"), which in turn developed from the Latin verbs "crepitare" and "crepare" ("to rattle").
