Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

From Middle High German krane, from Old High German krano (“crane”), from Proto-West Germanic *kranō, from Proto-Germanic *kranô (“crane”). The word was used metaphorically for the lifting device due to the similar appearance of the bird’s neck and head. This metaphorical use is first attested in Middle Dutch krane, and thence spread to several European languages (compare English crane, French grue). The sense “water tap” is restricted to a smaller territory (compare Dutch kraan, Luxembourgish Krunn).
