крамниця
Ukrainian
Etymology
From крам (kram, “goods, an object used for trading”) + -ниця (-nycja), from Middle High German krām or Middle High German krāme (maybe partially through Polish kram), from Old High German kram, most likely from Proto-West Germanic *krimman (“to cram, to stuff”) or Proto-West Germanic *krāma- (a roofing used by merchants to cover their wagons).
Some suggest that the Old High German kram might have been a borrowing from Slavic, such as Old Church Slavonic грамъ (gramŭ, “pub, inn”), or Old Church Slavonic чрѣмъ (črěmŭ, “tent”). That word (kram) might not be a borrowing, but instead a cognate from Proto-Indo-European *gremH-, also cognate with Lithuanian grùmti (“to push, shove”).
See German Kram, Dutch kram, Danish kram, and English cram as well as their etymologies and references.
