Word Origin & History
crenelate
early 14c., from Fr. créneler, from crénelé (12c.); see crenel. Sometimes also crenellate; the double -l- seems to be from a presumed L. *crenella, dim. of crena. Related: Crenelated (1823), also crenellated; crenellation (1849). Earlier formes of the pp. adj. included carneled.
