prettygoodwordcroustade (kroo-STAYD) - n., a moulded or hollowed shell, as of pastry or other starchy food, usually crusted, used as a container for serving another food.
Especially a pastry crust. Adopted around 1845 from French, from either Provençal crustado, same meaning (from Latin crustātus, past participle of crustāre, to encrust) or Italian crostata, tart, from crosta, pastry shell/crust, from Latin crusta -- which amounts to the same root as crustāre.
