Происхождение
From Middle English creket, crykett, crykette, from Old French criket (with diminutive -etFrom Middle English creket, crykett, crykette, from Old French criket (with diminutive -et) from criquer (“to make a cracking sound; creak”), from Middle Dutch kricken (“to creak; crack”), from Proto-West Germanic *krakōn, related to Middle English creken, criken (“to creak”), all ultimately of imitative origin.
Perhaps from a Flemish dialect of Dutch met de krik ketsen (“to chase a ball with a curved stick”).
The etymology is unknown. A few similar words exist in Germanic languages, such as Norwegian krakk (“stool”).
