Etymology
From Middle English creime, creme, from Old French creme, cresme, blend of Late Latin chrisma (from Old Greek χρῖσμα), and Late Latin crāmum, from cel-gau *crama (compare Welsh cramen, Breton crammen), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)krama- (compare Middle Irish screm, Dutch schram, Lithuanian kramas).
Figurative sense of "most excellent element or part" appears from 1581.
