14世纪末,“沉船,船只失事”,可能来自中古荷兰语 wrak “残骸”,源自原始日耳曼语 *wrakaz-,源自词根 *wreg- “推动,推挤,驱动”(见 wreak)。词根的意义可能是“被冲上岸的东西”。意义可能受到古英语 wræc “苦难,惩罚”的影响,以及 wrecan “惩罚,驱逐”(现代 wreak 的来源)。“损害,灾难,毁灭”的意义(在 wrack and ruin 中)始于约1400年,源自古英语单词,但拼写上符合了这个词。记录于1510年代的“海藻等被冲上岸”的意义,可能是对 wreck(名词)在这个意义上的改编(15世纪中叶)。在中古英语和早期现代英语中, Wrack, wreck, rack 和 wretch 的拼写非常混乱,意义上也有些混淆。
