Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *risti, borrowed from Slavic, probably from Old East Slavic крьстъ (krĭstŭ, “cross”). Further etymology * Further from Proto-Slavic *krьstъ, from Old High German Krist, from Ancient Greek Χριστός (Khristós, “Christ”, literally “anointed”), thus distantly related to Kristus. * In Finnic, cognate with Estonian rist, Ingrian risti, Ingrian risti, Karelian risti, Livonian rišt, Livvi rista, Ludian rist, Veps rist, Võro risti and Votic rissi. * The sense "clubs (card suit)" is a semantic loan from German Kreuz (as are Czech kříž, Russian кре́сти (krésti)), probably named so due to the shape's similarity to that of a cross (particularly the Greek cross and/or the cross pattée).
