Etymology edit
Often considered to be from creastă, but more likely ultimately from Latin castrāre, present active infinitive of castrō through metathesis (and thus possibly a doublet of the borrowing castra). Compare Occitan crestar (“to castrate”), Portuguese crestar (“collect honey from a beehive”). See also the change of 'a' to 'e' in rapidus to repede. For the development of the meaning, compare Abruzzo dialect castrá, Calabrian ncastra, ncastratura.
