Etymology[edit]

From French cresson.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Could it be from cải + xoong of cresson? The other names for this plant include cải xà lách xoong, xà lách xoong so perhaps this could be a compound, or is it simply re-analysis?”
