The word cradle originated from Middle English, deriving from the Old English word cradol. It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word kradulas, which means a small bed or a basket. The Proto-Germanic term is further derived from the Proto-Indo-European root word gerdh-, meaning to twist or turn.
