Usage Examples

Etymology

The French adjective **cristal** comes from the noun *cristal*, borrowed in the Middle Ages from Latin *crystallum*, which in turn is from Greek *krystallos* (“ice, quartz”). The Greek term derives ultimately from the Proto‑Indo‑European root *khrust-* meaning “to freeze, sparkle,” so the word has kept the sense “crystal‑like” or “sparkling” since the 14th century.
