- crevasse (n.)
[crevasse 词源字典]
- 1823, of glaciers; 1814, of riverbanks (in that case from Louisiana French), from French crevasse, from Old French crevace "crevice" (see crevice). Essentially the same word as crevice, but re-adopted in senses for which the meaning that had taken hold in crevice was felt to be too small.[crevasse etymology, crevasse origin, 英语词源]
