What is the word origin of crepe and the original meaning?

The Word "crepe" originates from the Latin Word "crispus," meaning "curled" or "wrinkled." It later evolved through the Old French Word "crêpe," which referred to a type of thin fabric with a crinkled texture. Originally, "crepe" described a lightweight, crinkled silk or wool fabric used in garments, particularly for mourning attire, before the term began to refer to the thin pancake we know today.
