cratis
Latin edit
Etymology edit
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *kr̥tis from root *kert- (“to weave, twist together”), but according to Michiel de Vaan, unlikely. If so, compare Latin crassus, Sanskrit कृत् (kṛt, “to spin”) and, according to Michael Witzel, Sanskrit कवि (kavi, “reins, ladle”). The connection with Ancient Greek κύρτος (kúrtos, “weel”) has also been dismissed by R. S. P. Beekes.[1] Alternatively from *kréh₂-tis; compare Proto-Germanic *hurdiz.
