Simplified etymology

Crevice entered Middle English from Old French and derives from crever, “to burst or split.” Despite the resemblance, it is unrelated to the Old French crevice from which English crayfish developed.

From Middle English crevice, from Old French crevace, from crever (“to break, burst”), from Latin crepō (“to break, burst, crack”). Doublet of crevasse.
