Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: But for the final labial and the vowelquantity κρύπτω agrees with Slav., e.g. OCS kryjo, kryti ' κρύπτω, ἀποκρύπτω' (Persson Stud. 51 n. 1, Meillet MSL 8, 297), which is connected with Balt., e.g. Lith. kráuju, kráuti `pile up'; on the meaning Schulze KZ 50, 275 (Kl. Schr. 621 f.). Doubtful because of the vowel is the comparison with a Balt. word for `deceive, delude', Lith. króp(i)u, krópti, Latv. krapt. Further Pok. 616f., Fraenkel Wb. s. kráuti and krópti 2., Vasmer Wb. s. krytь. - As there is no good IE etym. the word may be Pre-Greek, what seems confirmed by the frequent variation of the labial.
