crisp

Clear autumn morning

Crisp is most frequently an adjective for a desirable quality of food (crisp lettuce leaves), fabrics (crisp linen), or images (crisp graphics).

Crisp air is the kind you find on a cool autumn morning.

The noun crisp is used in British English for the food that Americans call potato chips.

The relatively infrequent verb crisp means to make something crisp: Crisp the celery by putting it in water.
