Catalan

Etymology

Inherited from Latin crusta (“bark, crust, shell”) (compare Occitan crosta, French croûte, Spanish costra), from Proto-Indo-European *krustós (“hardened”), from *krews- (“to form a crust, begin to freeze”). The /ɔ/ is unexpected and perhaps due to influence from other words with similar meanings.

Noun

crosta f (plural crostes)

  1. crust (any hard surface layer; surface layer of most breads and pastries)
  2. (geology) crust (outermost solid layer of a planet)
    Synonym: escorça
  3. rind (hard surface layer of a cheese)
  4. scab (crust over a wound made from clotted blood)

  • crostat (“covered in a crust”)
