ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:

Apocrypha

late 14c., neuter plural of L.L. apocryphus "secret, not approved for public reading," from Gk. apokryphos "hidden; obscure," thus "(books) of unknown authorship" (especially those included in the Septuagint and Vulgate but not originally written in Hebrew and not counted as genuine by the Jews), from apo- "away" (see apo-) + kryptein "to hide" (see crypt). Properly plural (the single would be Apocryphon or apocryphum), but commonly treated as a collective singular.

apo-

before vowels, ap-, prefix meaning "from, away from, separate, free from," from Gk. apo "from, away from; after; in descent from," in compounds, "from, asunder, away, off; finishing, completing; ceasing from; back again," from PIE root *apo- "off, away" (cf. Skt. apa "away from," Avestan apa "away from," L. ab "away from, from," Goth. af, O.E. of "away from").

crypt (n.)

early 15c., "grotto, cavern," from L. crypta "vault, cavern," from Gk. krypte (short for krypte kamara "hidden vault"), fem. of kryptos "hidden," verbal adj. from kryptein "to hide," from PIE *krau- "to conceal, hide" (cf. O.C.S. kryjo, kryti "to hide"). Meaning "underground burial vault or chapel in a church" first attested 1789.
