Etymology 2
[edit]From Middle Dutch croes, cruus, from Proto-West Germanic *krūs. Related with Proto-Germanic *kruzlǭ (“bent or crooked object, curl”), whence Dutch krul. Further origin unknown. Possibly from Pre-Germanic *grus-, contracted from Proto-Indo-European *gurus- (“twist, curl”), same source as Persian گرس (gors, “braid of hair”).[1] Cognate with German kraus. The form with oe instead of expected ui is either a Hollandic relict form or from eastern dialects.
