Crony, Crone

Are you an old crony? Do you have any old cronies in your life?!
 
The word crony comes from Greek khronos (time) and khronios (long-lasting). The word crony, meaning an old familiar friend or an intimate companion, comes to English in the 1660s from Cambridge University student slang. For example, “We’ve been old friends for a long time… and we’re only just turning 30!”
 
Old crony does not necessarily mean old in terms of years but rather old in terms of long-lasting.
 
What about the word crone? The word crone means a feeble and withered old woman. The word came to English in the late 14th century and has its origins in Latin caronia (carrion) and caro (flesh). There is no connection to khronos. Is there a word for the male equivalent of a crone? I checked and could not find one (perhaps no surprise there). The closest I could find was the lists of words related to witches and warlocks, hags and ogres. Any ideas on this?
