Etymology

The French noun **crack** is a loanword from American English, used specifically for crack cocaine. The English word dates back to Middle English *crac* (“a sharp crack or split”), itself derived from Old Norse *krekka* (“to crack, break”) and ultimately from Proto‑Germanic *krakkō*. The drug‑related sense appeared in the 1970s, after which French adopted the term.
