témoin m (plural témoins, feminine (rare) témoignesse or (both nonstandard) témouine or témointe)

témoins (plural)

Inherited from Middle French tesmoing, from Old French tesmoin, from Latin testimōnium. The same Latin noun was also borrowed into Old French as testimonie, testemoigne (whence English testimony); this has been lost in modern French.

témoin de navigation
témoin de navigation#French

papillon

→ Greek: παπιγιόν (papigión)

→ Romanian: papion

→ Turkish: papyon

From Old French papeillon (12th c.), byform of paveillon, whence the modern doublet pavillon (“pavilion”). Both from Latin pāpiliōnem. The form with recovered -p- may be semi-learned, but has also been explained as a native development due to onomatopoeia. Another possibility would be influence by a hypothetical Old French *parpeillon, from Vulgar Latin *parpiliōnem (cf. Occitan parpalhon). The swimming sense is a semantic loan from English.


fourche

fourché

Inherited from Old French furche, forche, from Latin furca (“pitchfork”).

Inherited from Middle French saisir, from Old French saisir, seisir (whence English seize), from Early Medieval Latin sacīre (“lay claim to, take seisin”), from Frankish *sakjan (“to sue, litigate; accuse”). Compare Old English sacian (“to strive, brawl”), Faroese saka (“to hurt; accuse”), obsolete English sake (“strife”).
Alternatively Old French saisir, seisir may be borrowed from Old High German *sazjan and thus cognate to German setzen (“to set”) and Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐍄𐌾𐌰𐌽 (satjan).

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.

1932, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Voyage au bout de la nuit:

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.
