The word “crisp” originates from the Latin adjective “crispus,” meaning “curled,” “wrinkled,” or “having curly hair”.
It entered Old English as “crisp,” describing something curly or wavy, such as hair or wool.
Over time, “crisp” evolved to mean “brittle” by the 1520s, possibly due to the effect of cooking on flat items.
In the 19th century, #crisp came to describe things as “neat” or “fresh”.
