Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Derksen: from Proto-Balto-Slavic *krésla
ЭССЯ: from *kretslo, from *kret- +‎ *-slo, from Proto-Indo-European *kret-, variant of *kert- (“to spin, knit”)
Vaillant: from *kres-, further etymology is unclear, not related to *kresati
Fraenkel: from *kres-/*kros- (“to braid/weave”)
Machek: from *krěptlo, from *krěpъ or *krěpiti. But usually the suffix is used with verbs and it would be **krěpidlo.
