Nook and Cranny

Have you ever lost or misplaced something and looked in every nook and cranny for it?
 
Nook
 
The origin of the word nook is unknown. The word came to English around 1300 meaning an angle formed by the meeting of two lines; in particular, where the walls meet at the corner of a room. By the late 14th century, nook referred to a remote or secluded place. Later, a nook also referred to a small, often recessed, section of a larger room; e.g., a breakfast nook in a kitchen.
 
What about nookie? This is a slang term for sexual activity from the 1920s with suggested origins in Dutch neuken (to copulate with) or in the connections with secluded places. Again, the origins are uncertain if not unknown.
 
Cranny
 
The word cranny, meaning a small narrow opening or crevice came to English in the mid-15th century possibly from Old French crener (to notch, to split), Latin cernere (to separate, to sift), and the Proto-Indo-European root krei (to sieve). These origins are suggested but are uncertain.
