Etymology of CRACKET

The word "cracket" is derived from the Old English word "cræcett", originally meaning a small stool or footstool. It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic term "krakjōną", which meant "to croak" or "to crack". The association with cracking or croaking likely comes from the noise made when sitting down or pressing on these small stools. Over time, the term "cracket" evolved to refer to a variety of small, low stools or footrests across different dialects and regional variations of English.
