Usage Examples

Etymology

The noun **croustillant** comes from the Old French noun **croust** (a small crust or crumb), which is a derivative of the Latin *crustus* “crust, shell”. In the 17th century the suffix *‑ill‑* was added to *croust* to form an adjective meaning “crusty, crackly”, and the present‑participle ending *‑ant* was later attached, giving the modern form *croustillant*. The word has kept its original sense of a dry, pleasantly crackling texture.
