1 gen 1673 anni - cricket

Descrizione:

A low wooden stool, a foot stool (OED). 1559 <i>Item one litill crekett stole 4s 0d</i>, North Stainley (YRS134/5); 1656 <i>1 letle clap table & a crekit stole</i>, Selby (YRS47/194); 1673 <i>2 crecketts ... 5 greene chares</i>, Selby (YRS47/33). No direct connection between this word and ‘cricket’ as a game has been established although ‘stool-ball’ as a game is on record from 1567. However, the OED view is that any connection is ‘very doubtful’ since cricket in the sense of stool was not in evidence early enough. The first example quoted here removes that particular objection to such a link.
