आखेट MEANING IN ENGLISH - EXACT MATCHES
Usage : A number of other words have been suggested as sources for the term “”cricket“”. In the earliest definite reference to the sport in 1598, [9] it is called creckett. Given the strong medieval trade connections between south - east England and the County of Flanders when the latter belonged to the Duchy of Burgundy, the name may have been derived from the Middle Dutch [10] krick (- e), meaning a stick (crook); or the Old English cricc or cryce meaning a crutch or staff. [11] In Old French, the word criquet seems to have meant a kind of club or stick. [12] In Samuel Johnson 's Dictionary, he derived cricket from “”cryce, Saxon, a stick“”. [13] Another possible source is the Middle Dutch word krickstoel, meaning a long low stool used for kneeling in church and which resembled the long low wicket with two stumps used in early cricket. [14] According to Heiner Gillmeister, a European language expert of Bonn University, “”cricket“” derives from the Middle Dutch phrase for hockey, met de (krik ket) sen (i. e., “”with the stick chase“”). [15] Dr Gillmeister believes that not only the name but the sport itself is of Flemish origin. [16] 1598
