J’ai téléphoné à mon ami.

Il ne me restait plus en fait de ressources qu’à aller jusqu’au bistrot pour téléphoner de temps en temps à quelques autres praticiens par-ci, par-là, au loin, que je connaissais plus ou moins bien dans Paris, dans les hôpitaux, pour leur demander ce qu’ils feraient eux, ces malins, ces considérés, devant une typhoïde comme celle qui me tracassait.

All I could do was go to the bistrot now and then and phone various doctors in the Paris hospitals, with whom I was more or less acquainted, and ask those sage, widely respected luminaries what they would do if faced with a case of typhoid like the one that was driving me mad.

cog

Le médecin va le guérir.

Notre imagination, si ardente qu’on la suppose, ne peut ni guérir instantanément une lésion organique, ni ressusciter un mort.

chignon

Spelled chaengnon around the 12th century with the meaning of nape; same Latin root as chaîne, i.e. catēna, perhaps via reconstructed Vulgar Latin *catēniōnem. The evolution of the meaning from “chain” to “nape” is unclear: a chain of bones (see Czech páteř for a similar evolution) or metonymical, where a chain would rest (see col, collier).
The modern sense dates back from the middle of the 18th century and might have been influenced by the sound proximity of tignon, from tignasse.
The expression chignon de pain is a local, dialectal pronunciation of quignon de pain (“loaf of bread”). Note that, although not taken into consideration by the TLFi (see reference below), quignon could also be the etymon of chignon, considering that the same “pastry metaphor” applies to French macaron, English bun.

roll or twist of hair worn at the nape of the neck; a bun

cancan

Supposedly, this word originates with a dispute at the Collège de France circa 1550, over whether to use a traditional French pronunciation of Latin or a reconstructed pronunciation of Latin. One of the points of most dispute was the pronunciation of qu, with the word quamquam exemplifying this: it was pronounced in reconstructed Latin as [ˈkʷam.kʷã(m)] but pronounced in French Latin as /kɑ̃.kɑ̃/ ("cancan"). After this debacle, a "cancan" came to be "any kind of scandalous performance".
