"etymology_text": "The adjective is derived partly from the following:\n* Sense 1: Middle English crisp (“curly, wavy”), from Old English crisp (“curly”), from Latin crispus (“of hair: crimped, curly”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kris-, from *(s)ker- (“to bend; to turn”).\n* Sense 2: from the above, and probably also onomatopoeic, representing a crinkling or crunching sound.\nDoublet of crape and crepe.\nAdjective sense 2.2.3 (“of air, weather, etc.: cool and dry”) is transferred from a description of frost or snow as “crisp”, that is, crunchy.\nThe noun is derived partly from the following:\n* Middle English crisp (“light, crinkled fabric; kind of pastry; crinkliness or roughness of skin”), from crisp (adjective) (see above).\n* Modern English crisp (adjective) (“having a consistency which is hard yet brittle”).",

"etymology_text": "The adjective is derived partly from the following:\n* Sense 1: Middle English crisp (“curly, wavy”), from Old English crisp (“curly”), from Latin crispus (“of hair: crimped, curly”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kris-, from *(s)ker- (“to bend; to turn”).\n* Sense 2: from the above, and probably also onomatopoeic, representing a crinkling or crunching sound.\nDoublet of crape and crepe.\nAdjective sense 2.2.3 (“of air, weather, etc.: cool and dry”) is transferred from a description of frost or snow as “crisp”, that is, crunchy.\nThe noun is derived partly from the following:\n* Middle English crisp (“light, crinkled fabric; kind of pastry; crinkliness or roughness of skin”), from crisp (adjective) (see above).\n* Modern English crisp (adjective) (“having a consistency which is hard yet brittle”).",

"etymology_text": "The adjective is derived partly from the following:\n* Sense 1: Middle English crisp (“curly, wavy”), from Old English crisp (“curly”), from Latin crispus (“of hair: crimped, curly”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kris-, from *(s)ker- (“to bend; to turn”).\n* Sense 2: from the above, and probably also onomatopoeic, representing a crinkling or crunching sound.\nDoublet of crape and crepe.\nAdjective sense 2.2.3 (“of air, weather, etc.: cool and dry”) is transferred from a description of frost or snow as “crisp”, that is, crunchy.\nThe noun is derived partly from the following:\n* Middle English crisp (“light, crinkled fabric; kind of pastry; crinkliness or roughness of skin”), from crisp (adjective) (see above).\n* Modern English crisp (adjective) (“having a consistency which is hard yet brittle”).",
