Etymology

The word 'crunch' originated in the early 17th century, possibly imitative of the sound of crushing or breaking something hard. It has evolved to be commonly used in the context of food (e.g., crunching on snacks) and sounds (e.g., the crunch of leaves). The onomatopoeic nature of the word has contributed to its popularity in describing sharp, noisy actions.
