中古英语 crucche,意为“一种用于支撑跛者行走的支撑物,由一根适当长度的杖和一端形状适合放在腋下的横木组成”,源自古英语 crycce “拐杖,杖”,源自原始日耳曼语 *krukjo(源头还包括古撒克逊语 krukka,中古荷兰语 crucke,古高地德语 krucka,德语 Kröcke “拐杖”,与古诺尔斯语 krokr “钩子”有关; 参见 crook(n.))。
“支撑,支持”的比喻意义首次记录于约1600年。作为动词,始于1640年代。
《世纪词典》写道,“与 crook 有关,在罗曼语中,其派生词混杂在一起”(意大利语 gruccia “拐杖”, crocco “钩子”是日耳曼语借词)。
