Nguồn gốc từ

From earlier crymble, crimble, from Middle English *crymblen, kremelen, from Old English *crymlan (to crumble), from *crymel (a small crumb; crumble), diminutive of Old English cruma (crumb), equivalent to crumb + -le. Compare kruimelen, krömmeln, Krümel, diminutive of Krume, krümeln, krümmeln (to crumble). Alteration of vowel due to analogy with crumb.
