croissants

/kwɑːˈsɑːnts/

nouncrois · sants

Think: “CROISSANTS = CROISS- (like ‘cross’ without the second s) + ANTS” — a croissant is so flaky even ANTS would notice the crumbs.

Yes, it's croissants. Remember the French spelling: it has “oi” (croi-) and ends with “-ants” (not “-ents” or “-ant’s”).
