crumpetn.

Brit. /ˈkrʌmpɪt/, U.S. /ˈkrəmpət/
Forms: Also 1600s -it.
Etymology: Not known till late in 17th cent.; Wyclif has however crompid cake as a rendering of laganum, which may be the antecedent of the name:1382 Bible (Wycliffite, E.V.) Exod. xxix. 23 A cake of a loof, a crusted cake spreynde with oyle, a crompid cake, of the leepe of therf looues [a1425 L.V. a tender cake of o loof, spreynde with oile, paast sodun in watir and after fried in oile, of the panyer of therf looues; Vulgate tortamque panis unius, crustulam conspersam oleo; laganum de canistro azymorum]. Crumpid here apparently means ‘curled up, bent into a curve’ (see crump v.1, crumped adj.) as is usual with thin cakes baked on a griddle or iron plate; compare cruller n. The crumpet is not necessarily the same now as when it was first so called.
