Well, Christos is a Greek word which ultimately comes from the Indo-European word ghrei, meaning rub.

According to this review (http://hnn.us/articles/6641.html) of a book putting forward similar ideas to Massey's: KRST is the word for “burial” (“coffin” is written “KRSW”), but there is no evidence whatsoever to link this with the Greek title “Christos” or Hebrew “Mashiah”.
