Where this word comes from
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.
