Etymology

Inherited from Old Czech kraboška, itself from Proto-Slavic *kȏrbъ (“basket”). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerbʰ- (“to turn around, curve”). Cognate with Czech krabice (“box”) and Czech krabatý (“visibly distorted, unpleasant”). Ultimately cognate with Latin corbis (“basket”), German Korb (“basket, creel”), Czech chrabrý (“brave, valiant”), and English sharp.
