cranny
[cranny 词源字典]
cranny:
see
crenellate
[cranny etymology, cranny origin, 英语词源]
cranny (n.)
mid-15c., possibly from a diminutive of Middle French
cran
"notch, fissure" (14c.), from
crener
"to notch, split," from Medieval Latin
crenare
, possibly from Latin
cernere
"to separate, sift" (see
crisis
). But OED casts doubt on this derivation.
