Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
CREVASSE , a
French
  word used in two senses. (1) In
French
  Switzerland, and thence universally in high
mountain
  regions, it designates a fissure in a
glacier
  caused by gigantic cracks in the ice-
mass
 , sometimes of
great
 
depth
 , into which climbers frequently fall through a light
bridge
  of snow which conceals the crevasse. (2) Adopted from the French of Louisiana, it signifies locally a wide crack or breach in the bank of a canal or river, and particularly of the " levee " of the
Mississippi
 .
