Crevis

/ˈkrɛvɪs/ noun

Definition

An archaic or variant spelling of crevice; a narrow opening or crack in a surface.

Etymology

An older English spelling of 'crevice,' reflecting historical variations in how this Old French word was transliterated into English before spelling standardization.

Kelly Says

This archaic spelling 'crevis' appears in old English texts and shows how words evolved—people spelled things differently back then, and we can trace the journey from Old French 'crevace' to modern 'crevice.'
