Inherited from Proto-Italic *krinō, from Proto-Indo-European *krey- (“to sieve”). The participle form crētus was analogically created after the perfect stem crēvī. The original participle form survived in certus.

Cognate with Ancient Greek κρῑ́νω (krī́nō), English ridder, riddle (“sieve”), and possibly English rinse.

     (Ancient Romans believed that Terminus (god), protector of boundary stones, had refused to yield the ground of his own shrine – located inconveniently on the site where the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus was to be built.
