Etymology
1. O.E.
*crymelan, presumed freq. of
gecrymman "to break into crumbs," from
cruma (see crumb). The
-b- is probably on analogy of Fr. words like
humble, where it belongs.
Crummy "easily crumbled" (1567) yielded a slang sense of "poorly made" (1859), but probably was influenced by mid-19c. slang
crumb "body louse" (cf.
lousy).
2. 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 (diminutive suffix). Compare Dutch kruimelen (“to crumble”), German Low German krömmeln (“to crumble”), German Krümel, diminutive of German Krume, German krümeln, krümmeln (“to crumble”). Alteration of vowel due to analogy with crumb. See: Dutch '
kruimelen', German, old spelling '
krümeln'.
