Adjective

IPA: /wa.zif/ Forms: oisive [feminine], oisifs [masculine, plural], oisives [feminine, plural]
Etymology: Inherited from Middle French oysif, ouesif, from Old French oisdif, back-formed from oisdive (“idleness”), in turn derived from oisos (“idle”), from Latin ōtiōsus (“idle”). It has the same root as oiseux (“idle, lazy; boring”). Compare the pair Old French voisos (“spoiled; corrupt”) and voisdie, voisdive (“ruse, trick; subtlety, skill”), both from Latin vitiō, vitiāre (“to spoil something”).
