Morphology

crocked = crock (opaque) = crock + ed

Although formed from 'crock' + '-ed', the slang meaning 'drunk' is informal and not predictable from the common noun 'crock' (earthenware), so learners cannot reliably infer the meaning.

Etymology

Crocked is a slang word for being very drunk. One popular way to remember it is to think of a crock as a clay 'pot' that can be 'smashed', so crocked is like being 'smashed', which is why it means very drunk.
