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.
