Etymology: This word is a technical expression of unknown origin. * Frisk's suggestion that the expression originally derives from weaving, connecting κρόκη (krókē, “woof”), is not likely. * A connection with Balto-Slavic words for "bar, rod, rafters", like Lithuanian krake (“rod, staff”) and krēklas (“rafters”), seems rather speculative, though supported by Pokorny, who derives it from Proto-Indo-European *krek- (“post”) and also compares Proto-Celtic *krīkʷā (“furrow”). * Furnée connects κόρση (kórsē, “temple, side of the head”), which is unwarranted.
