Etymology
The term 'crumbly' comes from the word 'crumb,' which traces back to the Old English word 'crom,' meaning 'a small piece or fragment of something.' The suffix '-ier' is a comparative form indicating that something possesses the quality more than another. The concept of a texture being crumbly has been present throughout many types of baking, as the inclusion of fats or the method of mixing can influence how baked items break apart. Over time, 'crumbly' has evolved to describe a variety of foods, including pastries, pies, and even certain types of cheese.
