The word crack can be traced to the Old English "cracian," meaning to make a sharp noise. This was likely a so-called onomatopoeia, which is the formation or use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to. For instance, to crack a whip is to make it create a sharp snapping sound.
Among other things crack can also mean:
- to break apart (The tree branch cracked after lightning struck it.)
- to change sharply in tone (Her voice cracked as she talked about her father's illness.)
- to have a mental or physical breakdown (He cracked under the pressure of a 70-hour work week.)
- to try something (He took a crack at repairing the water tap.)
- to praise highly (The film was everything it was cracked up to be.)
- to tell a joke, especially on impulse (He cracked a joke in the middle of his speech.)
