crampe

cramp (muscular contraction); iron clamp

“J'ai des crampes abdominales.” — I have stomach cramps.

From a Middle French crampe, from Old French crampe, cranpe (“muscular contraction, cramp”), of Germanic origin, either from Frankish *krampō or from Middle Dutch crampe (“cramp”); both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *krampô (“cramp, clasp”), from Proto-Indo-European *grem- (“to bind together, unite; lap, pile, heap”), from *ger- (“to unite, collect, forgather”).
