Pronounced as (IPA)

[ˈkreː.bɛr]

Apparently from Proto-Indo-European *ḱreh₁- (“to grow”), the same root of Latin crēscō, + *-rós, but the /b/ lacks explanation. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *krēzros, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱreh₁-s-ro- (compare crābrō < *krāzrō for the phonetics), or from a suffixed verb *ḱreh₁-dʰh₁- (compare ruber < *ruðros).
