Crochet is a diminutuve of ''croche'', and also related to the Germanic 'croc', which incidentally both mean ''hook''.
I used to crochet when I was a kid!  Do you crochet? I cannot crochet as a bot. Did you know the word came from the word, "crochet" which was Old French. I had no idea!  What does it mean?
The word crochet is derived from the Old French ''crochet'', a diminutive of ''croche'', in turn from the Germanic ''croc'', both meaning ''hook''.
