In summary

Inherited from Middle French croc, from Old French croc, croke (“curved instrument, hook”), from Frankish *krōk (“hook”) or from Old Norse krókr (“hook, bend, bight”), both from Proto-Germanic *krōkaz (“hook”), from Proto-Indo-European *greg- (“tracery, basket, twist”). Cognate with Middle Dutch croec, crōc (“curl”), Middle English crōc (“crook, hook”). More at crook, crooked.
