The word "cricket", as referring to the insect, derives from the Middle English word for insect, "criket" - which in turn derives from the French infinitive verb "criquer", meaning to creak.
The word referring to the sport derives from the Middle English "criquet", meaning goalpost, perhaps derived even further from the Early Dutch word "krick(e)", which was used to refer to an arm or the gallows.
