Borrowed from French croissant (crescent, croissant), from Latin crēscēns, from crēscō (I grow, increase).

  • Hyphenation: кро‧а‧сан

Noun edit

кроа̀са̄н m (Latin spelling kroàsān)

  2. (Serbia) a Croat

Usage notes edit

Likely from the fact Croatia looks like a elongated croissant, as well as kroasan being similar in pronunciation to kroat, in itself an earlier slur for particularly Westernized Croats who were perceived as traitors of Slavdom (especially when also being intolerant of Serbs).
