Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)krem-, which appears to be a derivative of *(s)ker- (“to cut”), and cognate with Proto-Slavic *krōmà (“edge, boundary; slice”). An alternative theory links the root to Proto-Indo-European *ḱremh₂- (“to hang”), whence Ancient Greek κρεμάννῡμῐ (kremánnūmĭ, “to hang up”) (though Beekes is skeptical of this comparison).
