<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(gè)詞是雙重借用的一個(gè)例子， 每一個(gè)詞都是由同一法語單詞的不同詞形演變?yōu)橛⒄Z的。在拉丁語中，crescere （意為.生長.）一詞用于指月亮?xí)r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 在古法語中的對(duì)等詞 cressaunt 最后變成.月亮逐漸變圓的時(shí)期.、.在上弦時(shí)和下弦時(shí)的月亮的新月形形狀.以及.新月形物體.的意思。 在中世紀(jì)英語中，它沿襲了英國法語cressaunt 這一詞形所采用的 croissant ， 這是記錄在可溯至399-400年的一個(gè)文件上的我們使用這一英語單詞的第一個(gè)實(shí)例，意為.一個(gè)新月形飾物.。現(xiàn)代英語crescent 這一中世紀(jì)英語 cressaunt 的派生詞的第二個(gè) c 則源于拉丁語 crescere。 Croissant并不是英語演變的結(jié)果， 而是一個(gè)派生于古法語croissant 的現(xiàn)代法語的借用詞。 它最先于899年記錄在英語中。法語croissant 曾用來解釋德語 Hornchen 意為由維也納人取名的糕點(diǎn)， 它最早是在'89年為了紀(jì)念解除土耳其人對(duì)維也納的圍攻而焙制的，其標(biāo)志是新月
