A croissant is a buttery, flaky pastry that originated in France. It is typically shaped in a crescent and is enjoyed as a breakfast or snack item. Its name is derived from its crescent shape, resembling the French word for "crescent".
FRANCE France adopted the breakfast pastry from Austria, who called it the kipfel. The French called it the croissant because it is shaped as a crescent moon (croissant is French for crescent)
The correct spelling is "crescent" and refers to a curved or semi-circular shape (especially a curved edge slice of a solid circle).
The word "croissant" originates from the French term meaning "crescent," which reflects the pastry's crescent shape. The name is derived from the Latin word "crescere," meaning "to grow" or "to increase." Croissants are believed to have been inspired by the Austrian kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to the 13th century, which was later adapted and popularized in France.
A crescent is something that is "c" shaped. For example, the moon when it is a sliver is "crescent shaped."It's the figure bounded by a semicircle and an arc of a larger circle. The most familiar crescent is the Moon, when it's partially lit by the Sun (as viewed from Earth). A frequent error in drawing a crescent is making the arc of a smaller circle.
The finger shaped pastry is an eclair.
