Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Swedish krusa, from Middle Low German krûsen, related with Proto-Germanic *kruzlǭ (“bent or crooked object, curl”). Further origin uncertain. Possibly from Pre-Germanic *grus-, contracted from Proto-Indo-European *gurus- (“twist, curl”), same source as Persian گرس (gors, “braid of hair”). Related to Dutch kroes (“frizzy”), German kraus (“curly”). Also a cognate of German krausen and Norwegian Nynorsk krusa and Danish kruse.
