CRASH
What crash means
A sudden violent collision or impact between two objects, or the loud sound produced by such a collision.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *crassen*, likely imitative in origin, related to Old Norse *krasa* meaning to shatter or break. The word captures the sound of violent collision or breaking, similar to how "crash" itself mimics the noise it describes. By the 1600s, it had extended from the sound of impact to mean a sudden financial collapse or stock market failure.
