Etimoloji (İngilizce)

Ortaçağ İngilizcesi öğesinden devralındı: creste

Eski İngilizce öğesinden devralındı: cræsta

In summary

From Middle English creste, from Old French creste (modern French crête) and perhaps continuing Old English cræsta (“crest, tuft, plume”); both ultimately from Vulgar Latin *cresta, from Latin crista. Doublet of crista.
The informal meaning “design, logo” (sense 11) stems from a misinterpretation of the heraldic sense 4, which specifically refers to the object placed on top of the helm.
