Abstract

Derrick is a simple construction consisting of a diagonally placed boom and a rope
and pulley system, which serves for the transfer of cargo on ships. The objective of this
paper is to compile a list of the basic parts of this system after conducting a field research
in Kostrena, and to analyse them from the etymological angle. The etymological analysis
will disclose the last donor language for the linguistic expression from Kostrena, i.e. its
direct etymology (etymologia proxima). The attempt to analyse its remote etymology
(etymologia remota) will form the next step.

Keywords

shipping; etymology; Kostrena; derrick; cargo.
