Etymology

According to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *gers- (to twist, bend, turn), see also Old Saxon kerian, Old Norse keyra (to whip), also Ancient Greek γέρδιος (gérdios, weaver).[1]

According to Vasmer, the word is borrowed from Old Norse krókr, itself probably from the same Indo-European root.
