Etymology
The word 'crew' originated from Middle English 'creue', which came from Old French 'crue', meaning an increase or growth. It was first used in the nautical sense in the 15th century to refer to the group of people working on a ship. The term has since evolved to encompass any group of people working together towards a common goal.
