Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English crike, probably from Old Norse kriki, from Proto-Germanic *krikjô, variant of krekô, from Proto-Indo-European *ger- (to turn, to wind); the modern form creek (already late creke) either reflects open-syllable lengthening of Middle English or reborrowing from Middle Dutch krēke., Compare typologically bight, akin to bend, bow.
