[edit] Etymology

From Medieval Spanish cristal. This in turn comes from a combination of sources, including: from Latin crystallum 'crystal, ice', from Ancient Greek κργσταλλοσ (krystallos) 'ice', from κργοσ (kryos) 'frost'; from the Proto-Indo-European base kru(s)-, meaning hard, hard outer surface.
Comonalities exist in all Romance and many other languages and groups, as in Old English cristal 'clear ice/mineral'.
