Etymology of CREW

The word "crew" originated from the Middle English term "crewe" or "kru", which can be traced back to the Old French word "creu" or "crue". The Old French word was derived from the Latin word "cohors" or "cohortem", meaning "enclosure" or "yard". In the late 14th century, "crewe" began to be used in the English language to refer to a group of people working together, especially on a ship. Over time, the word "crew" became more widely used to describe any group of people working collectively, not just on a ship.
