Answer:
Crescent refers to phases where the Moon is less than half-illuminated, while gibbous means more than half is illuminated. Waxing means “growing” or expanding in illumination, and waning means “shrinking” or decreasing in illumination. After new Moon, a slice of reflected sunlight becomes visible as a waxing crescent.
