History of English word crisis (n.) From early 15th century, from Latinized form of Greek krisis "turning point in a disease" (used as such by Hippocrates and Galen), literally "judgment, result of a trial, selection," from krinein "to separate, decide, judge," from PIE root *krei- "to sieve, discriminate, distinguish" (cognates: Greek krinesthai "to explain;" Old English hriddel "sieve;" Latin cribrum "sieve," crimen "judgment, crime," cernere (past participle cretus) "to sift, separate;" Old Irish criathar, Old Welsh cruitr "sieve;" Middle Irish crich "border, boundary"). Transferred to non-medical sense is 1620s in English. - http://www.etymonline.com/ English derived words: criterion = Grk. kriterion “judging, standard” recrement = re + cernere (sift,separate) cranny = fissure diacritic = dia + krinein (separate, judge) excrement = ex + cerenere =“sift out, discharge” riddle from krinein “to separate, distinguish, decide” decree = de + cernere (sift,separate) discern = dis + cernere (sift,separate) secret = se + cernere (sift,separate) certain = cernere (sift,separate) concern = com + cernere (sift,separate) crime = cernere (sift,separate) critic = kritikos, from krinein (separate, judge) critical = critic + al concert = com + cernere (sift,separate) hypocrisy = hypo-krisis = under + “sift, decide” The basic association of these derived words have to do with separation and judging.
