1 crìlein
a small creel ( M`E.), a box, small coffer ( H.S.D.), crilein ( Arms., M`L.), a box, Irish crilín, Early Irish criol, coffer, *krêpolo. criol (Arran, Perth). Stokes gives the stem as krêpo-, and Bez. adds Sanskrit çu$$-/rpa, winnowing basket (Cf. for phonetics lìon, and Sanskrit pûrna, full). Scottish, English creel, which appears about 1400, is usually derived hence; but as the Gaelic form itself is doubtful, and, from all appearance, taken from Lh., it is best to look elsewhere for an etymology for creel, as, through French, from Latin craticula. The Gaelic criol exists only in Sh., who found it in Lh. See croidhleag.
