Trivia, another meaning for trivial information. Sometimes I regret the questions I ask, but what the heck! Maybe someone knows the answer to my question that google doesn't. So in England did they decide to call the game Cricket after the insect? I don't see how a bug could be named after a game. What's the story? Anyone know?
The words come from different roots, but basically they are both the noise they make: crickets definitely say "cricket", ball on bat makes a little crick. The insect has been called a cricket long before the rain-making dance was invented.
Cricket: which came first, the bug or the game?
