| definition 1: |
A crescent is the curved shape of the moon when we can only see a little of it. A "crescent moon" is one of the phases that the moon goes through every month. Every month, the lit up part of the moon gets bigger and smaller. When it is small, it is called a crescent.
The moon was just a small crescent when we saw it in the sky last night. Maybe tomorrow we won't be able to see the moon at all.
