The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
This just seems like it's a combination of -acea and -an. Both words suffixed with "-acean" just show a word ending in "acea" + "-an" in their etymologies. Crustacean is Crustacea + -an, not crust + -acean. It's not crusta (the Latin root of crustacean) + -acean either, because the word "crustacean" refers to a member of the subphylum Crustacea, hence the addition of "-an." —Globins (talk) 00:25, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
