'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a post about "Binge") is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The name “Crane” is a nickname for |Tall, |Thin, Long-|Legged Men (like the |Bird).
The bird (that the large machines are modeled-on, and whose action you imitate when you stretched your neck to see over an obstruction) whose name is built on ancient words that mean "to Cry |Hoarsely" (imitating the bird's Call).
