Dutch
Etymology
From Middle Dutch crûke, from Old Dutch *krūka, 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”).[1][2]
Cognate with German Krug, German Kruke (regional).
