'crispy' originates from the word 'crisp,' which comes from Old English 'crisp,' meaning 'curly' or 'wrinkled.'

'crisp' evolved from the Latin word 'crispus,' which meant 'curly' or 'wavy,' and eventually became the modern English word 'crispy' to describe texture.

Initially, it meant 'curly or wavy,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having a firm, dry, and brittle texture.'
