Where this word comes from

From Middle French cruche, from Old French crouche, kroche, cruche, from Frankish *krūkā, related to Proto-West Germanic *krōgu (“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”). See also regional German Kruke (“crock”), Low German Kruuk (“jug”), Danish krukke (“jar”), Dutch kruik, English crock, and Icelandic krukka (“pot”).
