Etimologie (Engels)

In summary

From Middle Dutch crûke, from Old Dutch *crūca, from Proto-West Germanic *krūkā (“pot, pitcher”), of uncertain origin. Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European root shared with Old Armenian կարաս (karas, “pitcher, large jar”), Ancient Greek κρωσσός (krōssós, “pitcher”), but the phonetics are problematic. Also compare Old Irish croiccenn (“skin”). Cognate with German Krug, German Kruke (regional).
