Definition
A crescent-shaped formation or movement; a curving or arcing maneuver, often used in military tactics or horsemanship.
Etymology
From 'crescent' (a moon-shaped form) plus the French suffix '-ade' (an action or collection). The '-ade' suffix creates nouns from adjectives describing actions or formations.
Kelly Says
In cavalry tactics, a crescentade was a devastating formation—the crescent shape allowed horsemen to curve around and envelop enemy soldiers, which is why military strategists have loved crescent formations from ancient times to modern mechanized warfare.
