Origin:
The word "cranny" comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)ker- ("to cut"), which is also the origin of words such as "carve," "shear," and "scissors." This root originally referred to the act of cutting or scraping, and by extension came to mean "a narrow opening or fissure."
The word "cranny" has been in use in English since the 14th century, and its meaning has remained relatively unchanged over time. It is often used to describe a small, hidden, or secluded place, such as a hole in a wall or a nook in a cave.
