/ˈkrʉːˌka/
UrsprungBorrowing from Middle Low German krûke, from Old Saxon krūka, from Proto-West Germanic *krūkā (“pot, pitcher”), of uncertain origin. Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European root shared with Old Armenian կարաս (karas, “pitcher, large jar”), Ancient Greek κρωσσός (krōssós, “pitcher”), but the phonetics are problematic. Also compare Old Irish croiccenn (“skin”).
Compare German Kruke, Danish krukke and Icelandic krukka.
- common-gendera pot (container, often made of clay, for example for growing a plant in (blomkruka))
“plantera en växt i en kruka” — plant a plant in a pot
- colloquial, common-gendera coward, originating from the 12 Labours of Hercules. When Hercules returned with the Erymanthian boar, Eurystheus hid in a large wine jar.
