Etimologia (anglès)

Late Middle English, also attested as craue, from or related to Middle Dutch crāghe or Middle Low German crāghe (“collar, neck”), from Proto-Germanic *kragô (“throat”), probably from Proto-Indo-European *gʷrogʰ- or *gʷrh₃-gʰ- (“throat, gullet”), whence also Old Irish bráge (“throat, gullet”) and perhaps Ancient Greek βρόχθος (brókhthos, “throat”). Compare Latin gurges (“gulf, bay; whirlpool, eddy”).
Other Germanic cognates include Danish krave, German Kragen (“collar”) and Old Dutch kraga (“neck”) (whence modern Dutch kraag). See also crag (Etymology 2).
