What does it mean word for word?

The word クロワッサン is a loanword from French, written in Katakana, which is the script used for foreign loanwords in Japanese.

kurowassan

In some Japanese contexts, クロワッサン is used as a descriptor for any flaky, laminated dough pastry, even if it is shaped like a roll or a twist.
Many Japanese convenience stores sell クロワッサン packaged in individual plastic wraps, a common practice for portability that is rare in traditional French bakeries.
While most Japanese bakeries use the French-inspired クロワッサン, you might also see it categorized under the broader term パン, which simply means 'bread'.
