In summary

From Middle High German krām (“merchant tent; wares”), from Old High German krām (“merchant tent; tent cloth”), probably ultimately borrowed from Slavic, such as Old Church Slavonic грамъ (gramŭ, “pub, inn”) or чрѣмъ (črěmŭ, “tent”). The semantic development is “tent cloth” → “merchant tent” → “shop” → “wares” → “stuff”. Cognate with Dutch kraam (“booth, stall”) and Yiddish קראָם (krom, “shop”). More at crame.
