croquetn.

Brit.

/ˈkrəʊkeɪ/,

/ˈkrəʊki/, U.S.

/kroʊˈkeɪ/

Etymology: Supposed to be < Northern French croquet, dialect form of crochet, diminutive of croc, croche crook, found in Old Northern French in sense of ‘shepherd's crook’ (Du Cange s.v. crochetum, Littré and Hatzfeld s.v. Crochet); and used in some modern French dialects in sense of ‘hockey-stick’. Authorities for this use of croquet in Brittany are given by Dr. Prior Notes on Croquet (1872) 51/2. In The Reader of 29 Oct. 1864, F. J. Foot, of the Geological Survey, stated that the game had been played under this name (though this is perhaps doubtful) near Dublin in 1834–5: see also quot. 1877 at sense 1. From Ireland the game and name were introduced into England in 1852, where between 1858 and 1872 Croquet attained great popularity.

1. A game played upon a lawn, in which wooden balls are driven by means of wooden mallets through iron arches or ‘hoops’ fixed in the ground in a particular order.It resembles more or less the ancient game of closh n.¹, and the more recent one of pall-mall n., in both of which a ball had to be driven through an arch or hoop, in the former by a spade-shaped beytel, in the latter by a mallet.
