Etymology
The word 'incrust' originates from the Latin word 'incrustare', which means to cover with a crust. The prefix 'in-' means 'upon' or 'into', and 'crusta' translates to 'crust' in English. It was first documented in Middle English in the late 14th century, where it was used in contexts related to covering surfaces, particularly in relation to decorative arts and geology. Over time, it has been adopted in various fields, including culinary arts, where it describes cooking methods involving layers of flavor and texture. The evolution of the term illustrates how language adapts to encompass new concepts while retaining its roots in earlier usages.
