crewmember

/kɹuːˈmɛmbɚ/ noun

A member of a crew.

Word Origin Crew comes from Latin crescere 'to grow' — originally a crew was a group of people 'grown' or recruited for a ship. Member is from Latin membrum 'limb,' so a crewmember is literally a limb of the growing group. The same root crescere gives us increase, decrease, and crescent (the growing moon), while membrum gives us membrane and dismember. So a crew is a body that grows, and each member is a part of that body.
