Etymology
1. Borrowing from Middle Low German krûke, from Old Saxon 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”).
2. Compare German Kruke, Danish krukke and Icelandic krukka. See: Ancient Greek Nouns '
κρωσσός', German Nouns '
Kruke', Icelandic Nouns '
krukka'.
