Plus the original crusade was caused by fanatical seljuk turks. not saying it was right but there you go
Rubbish, the two are mutually intelligable, and crux means "cross" in both.

Also, there are multiple dialects, Eccesiastical, Vulgar, Medieval, Archaic, Silver, Golden, etc.

You are right it was a Pagan Roman word, it's the "cross" you hang up rebels on. Just like Jesus.
