CROOK
What crook means
A person who engages in dishonest or illegal activities, or the curved or hooked part at the end of something like a cane or walking stick.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *crok*, borrowed from Old Norse *krókr*, meaning "bend" or "hook." The Norse word likely comes from Proto-Germanic *krōkaz*, related to the idea of something curved or bent. The sense evolved from the physical hook shape to a staff with a curved handle (a shepherd's crook), and eventually to describe a dishonest person who is "bent" or crooked in character.
