Etymology

[edit]

From крам (kram, goods, an object used for trading) +‎ -ниця (-nycja), from Middle High German krām or Middle High German krāme (maybe partially through Polish kram), from Old High German kram, most likely from Proto-West Germanic *krimman (to cram, to stuff) or Proto-West Germanic *krāma- (a roofing used by merchants to cover their wagons).

Some suggest that the Old High German kram might have been a borrowing from Slavic, such as Old Church Slavonic грамъ (gramŭ, pub, inn), or Old Church Slavonic чрѣмъ (črěmŭ, tent). That word (kram) might not be a borrowing, but instead a cognate from Proto-Indo-European *gremH-, also cognate with Lithuanian grùmti (to push, shove).

See German Kram, Dutch kram, Danish kram, and English cram as well as their etymologies and references.
