Which French term translates to 'Crossed behind' in English?

Explanation:
In Cecchetti vocabulary, crossed behind is expressed by croise derriere. Here, croise means the line is diagonal or crossed, and derriere means behind, so the working leg moves behind the other leg. The other terms don’t fit this meaning: croise devant would be crossed in front, autour de la salle means around the room (a traveling direction), and ecarte refers to a spreading or opening of the legs.
