Etymology

Inherited from Middle Dutch: crûke

Inherited from Old Dutch: *krūka

Cognate with Classical Armenian: կարաս

Cognate with Ancient Greek: κρωσσός

Cognate with Old Irish: croiccenn

Cognate with German: Krug

Cognate with German: Kruke

In summary

From Middle Dutch crûke, from Old Dutch *crūca, from Proto-West Germanic *krūkā (“pot, pitcher”), of uncertain origin. Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European root shared with Old Armenian կարաս (karas, “pitcher, large jar”), Ancient Greek κρωσσός (krōssós, “pitcher”), but the phonetics are problematic. Also compare Old Irish croiccenn (“skin”).
Cognate with German Krug, German Kruke (regional).
