Why is the Czech word for resurrection vzkříšení and does this have some kind of root to the word "cross"? Mosiáš 15 p 21
Answer:
No. The root of this word is kříšit: to try to resuscitate, to revive, to try to bring somebody around, to restore somebody to consciousness.
Also not to be confused with vykřičník, which has the word křičet as its root: to yell, to scream, to shriek, etc. and means an exclamation mark.
The word kříž is a cross, a crucifix. Kříš and křič look and even sound similar but that's where it ends.
