To press or squeeze something with force so that it breaks, crumples, or loses its original shape.
Where the word comes from
From Old French "croissir," meaning to gnash or break, possibly related to Old Norse "krysta," meaning to press or squeeze.

Over time it expanded to mean overwhelming defeat or a romantic infatuation, the latter sense emerging in the 1880s among schoolchildren.
