Tips
culture
Modern phonetic loan from French 'croissant'. Older Chinese term is 牛角面包 ('horn-shaped bread'). 可颂 reads literally as 'can-praise', purely a sound-borrowing, a marketing-friendly choice that took off with boutique bakeries in the 2010s.
usage
Compare with 牛角包, the older, more descriptive name still used in older bakeries. 可颂 has a trendier, café-culture feel.
