<注釋>The wordscroissant and crescent illustrate double borrowings, each coming into English from a different form of the same French word.In Latin the wordcrôscere, .to grow,. when applied to the moon meant .to wax.; one could have the phraselôna crôscôns, .waxing moon.. Old Frenchcroissant, the equivalent of Latin crôscôns, came to mean .the time during which the moon waxes,. .the crescent-shaped figure of the moon in its first and last quarters,. and .a crescent-shaped object.. In Middle English, which adoptedcroissant in its Anglo-Norman form cressaunt, the first instance of our English word, recorded in a document dated 399-400, meant .a crescent-shaped ornament..Crescent, the Modern English descendant of Middle English cressaunt, owes its second c to Latin crôscere. Croissant is not an English development but instead a borrowing of the Modern French descendant of Old Frenchcroissant. It is first recorded in English in 899.Frenchcroissant was used to translate German Hôrnchen, the name given by the Viennese to this pastry, which was first baked in '89 to commemorate the raising of the siege of Vienna by the Turks, whose symbol was the crescent.
單詞croissant 和 crescent 這兩個詞是雙重借用的一個例子， 每一個詞都是由同一法文單詞的不同詞形演變為英文的。在拉丁語中，crescere （意為.生長.）一詞用於指月亮時的意為.月亮漸圓.； 可以用luna crescens 即.漸圓的月亮.這一詞組。 拉丁語crescens 在古法文中的對等詞 cressaunt 最後變成.月亮逐漸變圓的時期.、.在上弦時和下弦時的月亮的新月形形狀.以及.新月形物體.的意思。 在中世紀英文中，它沿襲了英國法文cressaunt 這一詞形所採用的 croissant ， 這是記錄在可溯至399-400年的一個檔案上的我們使用這一英文單詞的第一個實例，意為.一個新月形飾物.。現代英文crescent 這一中世紀英文 cressaunt 的派生詞的第二個 c 則源於拉丁語 crescere。 Croissant並不是英文演變的結果， 而是一個派生於古法文croissant 的現代法文的借用詞。 它最先於899年記錄在英文中。法文croissant 曾用來解釋德文 Hornchen 意為由維也納人取名的糕點， 它最早是在' * 為了紀念解除土耳其人對維也納的圍攻而焙制的，其標誌是新月
