S.v. Lat. crusta 'crust, shell; thin slab; leaf', suggests *krus-to- from PIE *krus- 'to thrust, pound' and compares Av. xrūždra- 'hard', xrūždisma-, '(made from) hard soil, xrūžda- 'hardship'; Gr. κρούω 'to strike, smite' < *krous(i)e/o-; Lith. krùšti 'to crush', OCS sъ-kruš- 'to break into pieces', Lith. krušà 'hail', < *krus-a-; against the traditional etymology to the Greek words for 'ice', 'frost' κρύσταλλος, κρύος on the basis that the words do not have any indication that they referred to ice or cold.
