Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic кратъ (kratŭ), from Proto-Slavic *kortъ. Cognate with Serbo-Croatian -кра̄т (e.g. два́кра̄т (twice)), Slovene kràt (gen. kráta), Czech -krát (e.g. dvakrát (twice)), Slovak krát, Polish -kroć (e.g. dwakroć (twice)), Upper Sorbian -kroć, Lower Sorbian -krot. More distantly cognate with Lithuanian kar̃tas (time, occurrence) (plural kartaĩ), kartà (layer, row) (acc. kar̃tą), Latvian kā̀rtа (layer, row), Sanskrit सकृत् (sakṛ́t, once), कृत्वस् pl (kṛ́tvas, times, occurrences), Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬐𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬝 (hakərə, once). Vasmer suggests that these terms are cognate with Lithuanian kir̃sti (to chop) (1sg. kertù), and notes the parallelism with Russian раз (raz) and ре́зать (rézatʹ, to cut), and Lithuanian sỹkis (time, occurrence) and Russian секу́ (sekú, I cut, I chop).
