Etymology
The word "crust" comes from the Middle English word "cruste," which is derived from the Old French word "crouste," meaning "hard outer part." The Old French word "crouste" is ultimately derived from the Latin word "crusta," meaning "rind, crust, or shell."
Meaning
A crust is the hard, outer layer of something, such as bread, pizza, or pie. It can also refer to the hard, outer surface of the Earth or a planet, or to a layer of ice or snow that forms on a surface.
Origin
The word "crust" was first used in the late 14th century to refer to the hard, outer layer of bread. It was later used to refer to the crust or outer surface of other foods, such as pizza and pie. In the 16th century, the word began to be used to refer to the hard, outer surface of the Earth or a planet. The word "crust" is still used in all of these senses today.
