Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/kroma

Likely from Proto-Indo-European *(s)krem-, an extension of *(s)ker- (“to cut”). Akin to German Schramme (“scratch”), possibly Ancient Greek κρημνός (krēmnós, “river bank”).

*krōmà f

1. edge, boundary
2. slice

In a number of daughter languages, the locative case *kromě[1] is used as a preposition with meaning except, but.
