Etymology
Of uncertain origin.[1] Appears to trace back to a Proto-Indo-European *krew(H)-, with no secure extra-Germanic cognates.[2] Theories include connections to Proto-Indo-European *krewh₂- (“blood”),[1] as well as to *krows- (“to fall, beat, break, bruise”). In the latter case, cognate with Lithuanian krùšti (“to smash, crash, bruise”), Russian круши́ть (krušítʹ, “to destroy”).[3]
