The [[word]] cross comes [[ultimately]] from [[Latin]] ''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crux crux]'', a [[Roman]] [[torture]] device used for [[crucifixion]], via Old Irish cros. The word was introduced to [[English]] in the 10th century as the term for the instrument of the torturous [[execution]] of [[Jesus]] as described in the [[New Testament]], [[gradually]] replacing the earlier word [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rood ''rood''].
