Etymology

Standardized since the 17th century. From Central and Low German dialects, from northern Middle High German and Middle Low German krampe f, from Old High German crampo, Old Saxon krampo m, from Proto-West Germanic *krampō, from Proto-Germanic *krampô.
Cognate with southern Old High German crampho. Remarkably, modern descendants of the latter, such as Bavarian Krampen m (“bent prong, pickaxe”), also have p instead of pf. This might be due to influence by Middle High German krump (modern krumm).
