köken: From Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to turn, to bend”), changed to *krei- (whence also kreilis (“left-hander”)), with a suffix -so. The meaning evolved from “bent, crooked” to “not strong, clumsy, weaker, less good,” hence “left (hand),” as opposed to the “good,” “able” right hand. Cognates include Old Prussian crays (“hay”), craysi (“stalk, straw”) (presumably from “that which bends, rocks”).
