— C’est le trou aux fades, mon parrain.
— Les fades ! N’est-ce pas les fées que tu veux dire ?
— Je ne connais pas les fées, mon parrain.

moult

fr-adj

moult (feminine moulte, masculine plural moults, feminine plural moultes)

moulte (feminine)
moults (masculine plural)
moultes (feminine plural)

Inherited from Middle French moult, from Old French mut (with a silent ⟨l⟩ inserted per the Latin etymon), from earlier Old French mult~molt, from Latin multus, from Proto-Indo-European *ml̥tos (“crumbled, crumpled”, past passive participle). After having largely disappeared from the spoken language, where it was replaced by beaucoup, the term is now occasionally heard again, often with a spelling-pronunciation.

inh

(formerly archaic or regional) many; a lot of


sape

Inherited from Old French sappe, from Latin sappa. Compare Italian zappa, Friulian sape, Romanian sapă.


goutte

Inherited from Middle French goutte, from Old French gote, gute, goute, from Latin gutta. The second t was added back in Middle French to reflect the original Latin spelling.


serein

Either from Latin serenum (“good weather”), or from Old French serein (“evening”), from Latin serum.


bru

From Middle French bru, from Old French bru, brui, bruz, from Late Latin bruta, brutis, from Old High German brūt (“daughter-in-law, bride”) or Gothic 𐌱𐍂𐌿𐌸𐍃 (bruþs, “daughter-in-law”); both from Proto-Germanic *brūdiz (“bride, daughter-in-law”). Akin to Old English brȳd (“bride”), English bride.


tabac

→ Dutch: tabak

→ German: Tabak

→ Irish: tobac

→ Romanian: tabac

→ Russian: таба́к (tabák)

(regional, Normandy, Brittany) A type of flat, rounded local bread


puy

Inherited from Middle French puy, from Old French puy (“hill, height”), pui, from Latin podium. Its current use as a regionalism referring to certain geographic features may be taken at least in part from Franco-Provençal; cf. also Occitan puèg and Catalan puig. In Old French, it had a somewhat different or more varied set of meanings (cf. also the feminine puie, puye, poye (“balustrade”), whence English pew through Anglo-Norman), later coming to be applied to mountains and hills especially in the Auvergne region and Massif Central, the remains of extinct volcanoes. Doublet of the later borrowing podium.

Les associés prennent presque toujours un grurin ou fromager à leurs gages, et celui-ci se charge de la réception du lait et de toutes les opérations de la fruitière.

1835, Abel Hugo, France Pittoresque, volume I:

The associates nearly always take on a grurin or cheesemaker, and he looks after receiving the milk and the full operation of the fruitière.

Ils prennent à leurs gages un fromager qu'ils appellent le grurin;—le grurin reçoit le lait des associés trois fois par jour et marque les quantités sur une taille double;—c'est vers la fin d'avril que le travail des fromageries commence; c'est vers la mi-juin que les fromagers conduisent leurs vaches dans la montagne.

1862, Victor Hugo, chapter 4, in Les Misérables, Tome I : Fantine, book 2:

They take on a cheesemaker whom they call the grurin; the grurin receives the associates' milk three times a day and marks the quantities in double-tally; the cheese-makers' work starts towards the end of April, and their cows are taken into the mountains in mid-June.

En avançant toujours, j'entendis bientôt les cloches des vaches d'un chalet situé à qualques pas de moi, et je vis presque au même instant le grurin qui donnait ses ordres aux pâtres et aux femmes chargées de traire les vaches [...].

1841, Théophile Ménard, Ferréol, section XIII:

Advancing further, I soon heard the cowbells of a chalet situated a few feet from me, and I saw almost at the same instant the grurin giving his orders to the shepherds and to the women whose job was to lead the cows.

(regional) A local cheesemaker, especially of Gruyère
