creek词源中文解释
15世纪中期， creke “海岸线上的狭窄入口”，改编自 kryk（13世纪初； 在地名中自12世纪起），可能源自古诺尔斯语 kriki “角落，角落”，可能受到盎格鲁-法语 crique 的影响，后者通过诺曼人源自斯堪的纳维亚。可能最终与 crook 有关，最初的概念是“充满弯曲和转弯”（比较方言瑞典语 krik “角落，弯曲； 小溪，海湾”）。
1570年代扩展到“河流的入口或短臂”，这可能导致在美国英语中使用“小溪，小河”（1620年代）。在美国通常发音并曾经有时拼写为 crick。在加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰也用于“主要河流的支流”，可能是由于探险家沿着主要河流前进，看到并记录下支流的河口，而不知道它们通常是自己的广阔河流。
俚语短语 up the creek “陷入麻烦”（通常特指“怀孕”）可追溯至1941年，可能最初是武装部队的俚语，意为“在巡逻中迷路”，或者可能是同义词 up shit creek 的清理版本，意思相同。
