Origin

Old English cruma, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch kruim and German Krume. The final -b was added in the 16th century, perhaps from crumble but also influenced by words such as dumb, where the original final -b is retained although no longer pronounced.

The word crumb did not always have a b at the end: this was added in the 16th century, influenced partly by the related word crumble (Late Middle English) and partly by words like dumb and thumb, where the ‘b’ was silent. The dated exclamation crumbs is a euphemism for ‘Christ’ and dates from the late 19th century. Crummy (mid 19th century), now meaning ‘unpleasant’ and ‘in poor condition’, was originally spelled crumby and meant ‘crumbly’ or ‘covered in crumbs’.
