Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “crest” comes from the Latin word crista, meaning “tuft” or “plume,” especially of a bird. It passed into Old French as creste, meaning “tuft, comb, or helmet decoration,” and then into Middle English as crest. Originally, it referred to the plume on a knight’s helmet and later came to mean the top of anything, like a wave or hill.
