The verb is from 中期英語 crien (13th century), from Old French crier, from Vulgar Latin *crītāre, generally thought to derive from Classical Latin quirītāre (Proto-West Germanic *krītan has also been suggested as a source). The noun corresponds to 中期英語 cry, crie, from Old French cri, a deverbal of crier.
