Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The word "custard" originates from the Old French term "crouste" (crust), which evolved into Anglo-Norman "crustade," referring to a pie with a crust. Over time, the term shifted to describe the filling itself, particularly a mixture of eggs, milk, and sugar, losing its direct association with the crust. The modern spelling and meaning solidified around the 16th century.
