Etymologie (Engels)
From Middle English cross, cros, from Old English cros (“rood, cross”), perhaps from Old Irish cros (compare Welsh croes, Irish crois), perhaps from Latin crux (cruci). In this sense displaced native Middle English rood, from Old English rōd; see rood. The sense of "two intersecting lines drawn or cut on a surface; two lines intersecting at right angles" without regard to religious signification develops from the late 14th century. cognates *Old Norse kross (“cross”) *Icelandic kross (“cross”) *Faroese krossur (“cross”) *Danish kors (“cross”) *Swedish kors (“cross”) *German Kreuz (“cross”) *Dutch kruis (“cross”)
