Word Origin & Etymology

From Middle English 'crasen', meaning to break, shatter, or crack, likely of Scandinavian origin (akin to Old Norse 'krasa'); the literal sense of a cracked pottery glaze preserves the original meaning, from which the figurative sense of a 'shattered' or deranged mind developed.
