Origin Early 17th century (denoting the hollow forming the mouth of a volcano): via Latin from Greek kratēr 'mixing-bowl', from krasis 'mixture'. The Greeks and Romans preferred to drink their wine mixed with water, and thought it very uncivilized to drink it neat. They would mix their wine in a large wide-mouthed bowl called in Greek a kratēr and in Latin a crater. English adopted this word as the term for the bowl-shaped hollow that forms the mouth of a volcano.
