κρύος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Uncertain. Traditionally considered from Proto-Indo-European *krews- and cognate with Latin crusta, but according to Beekes there are semantic problems with this connection. Also compare Tocharian B kuraś (“cold”), Latvian kruvesis, perhaps Ukrainian крига (kryha, “ice”) and Old English hruse (“surface”). Also see κρύσταλλος (krústallos, “ice; rock crystal”) and κρυμός (krumós).
