huguenote (feminine)

Besançon Hugues
Savoy dynasty
fr:huguenot

Usually derived from Middle French eiguenot, eyguenotz (“Swiss confederate; kind of soldier”), from German Eidgenosse (“confederate; Swiss person”), from Eid (“oath”) + Genosse (“companion”). It would then appear that the singular in -t is a French backformation from the plural, although it has also been compared to the Dutch eedgenoot (eed + genoot).
An alternate theory considers it a diminutive of Hugues (“Hugh”). The theory states that the term was originally used by Savoyard Roman Catholic supporters of the ruling Savoy dynasty as a derogatory designation (later embraced by Geneva republicans and by French Calvinists), with a meaning similar to "little Hughey", after the surname of Geneva burgomaster Besançon Hugues, who (though a Catholic himself) supported and participated in the rebellion against the rule of the Savoy dynasty, which led to the independence of Geneva in 1526.

Les pirates nord-coréens ne sont pas nécessairement les plus compétents, ni les plus pointus – quoique certains soient de très haut niveau –, mais ce sont les plus disciplinés et les plus têtus.

2020 August 28, “Corée du Nord : l'armée secrète des hackeurs [North Korea: the secret army of hackers]”, in Le Monde:

biche

Inherited from Middle French biche, from Old French biche (“doe, female deer”) and bisse (“wild animal”), of uncertain origin and relation.

It may be the Picard or Norman form of bisse, (compare chent for cent) or may share origin with Middle French bique (“nanny-goat”), believed to be derived from Proto-Germanic *bik (“goat”) or perhaps related to Icelandic bikkja (“old mare, nag”).
