Since crochet is a French term, I thought I would start with the French words for the various crochet stitches:

chain stitch = maille en l'air (ml), chainette

slip stitch = maille coulee (mc), petite maille

single crochet = maille serree (ms)

half double crochet = demi-bride (db)

double crochet = bride (b)

treble crochet = double bride (dble b)
