Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
Old English crafian "ask, implore, demand by right," from North Germanic *krabojan (cognates: Old Norse krefja "to demand," Danish kræve, Swedish kräva); perhaps related to craft in its base sense of "power." Current sense "to long for" is c.1400, probably through intermediate meaning "to ask very earnestly" (c.1300). Related: Craved; craving.
Wiktionary
vb. 1 (context transitive English) To desire strongly, so as to satisfy an appetite; to long or yearn for. 2 (context transitive English) To ask for earnestly.
