Etymology edit
From *krāsnis, derived from the verb krāt (“to put aside, to collect”) with an extra element or suffix -sn, or perhaps from the dialectal from krāst of this verb (compare dialectal krāsts (“oven”), originally the past participle of krāst). The original meaning was “collection, stack, pile (of stones)” (compare dialectal krāsne “pile of stones,” “oven”), from which “oven,” at first referring to baths and kilns. Cognates include Lithuanian krósnis.[1]
