Definition
Having the shape or appearance of a crescent; resembling a curved moon shape.
Etymology
Combines 'crescent' (from Latin crescens, meaning 'growing' or 'increasing') with the English suffix '-like' (meaning 'resembling'). The crescent shape was named for its appearance during the moon's waxing phase.
Kelly Says
The crescent shape appears everywhere in nature and design—from the Islamic symbol to croissants to the curved horns of animals—because curves are actually structurally efficient and appear naturally in growing things.
