The 'croiss' in croissant presumably refers to cross, which would be about the method of folding the dough across itself to make the croissant shape.
A pain au chocolate isn't that.
Respect shapes.

Croissant comes from the present participle of French verb croître (which conjugates irregularly, its radical is croiss-) meaning 'to grow'.

Hmm.
'The croissant gets its name from its shape: in French, the word means "crescent" or "crescent of the moon."'

Although I spose a croissant doesn't need to be crescent shaped. It could a diamond shape and it would still be a croissant by any reasonable definition, so maybe let's not get too bogged down in shapes.
