Etymology 1
From de gmh kruoc, from de goh kruog, from de gmw-pro *krōgu, from de gem-pro *krōguz. Immediate cognates are dum croech, ang crōg, of obscure origin. Possibly from a de ine-pro - root shared with xcl կարաս pitcher, large jar, grc κρωσσός pitcher, but the phonetics are problematic. Also compare sga croiccenn skin.crockcrog
The originally Low German de Kruke crock, cognate with en crock, is another word, though a relation with Krug is considered likely.
