Etymology
Croissant comes from the French word meaning 'crescent' and is the same idea as the English word crescent, because the pastry is made in a curved, moon-like shape. One popular story says the shape celebrated a victory over Ottoman soldiers, but the easiest way to remember croissant is to think of a buttery roll shaped like a crescent.
