→ Czech: styl

→ Italian: stile

→ Polish: styl

→ Romanian: stil

→ Serbo-Croatian: stȉl

→ Turkish: stil

pastel

→ English: pastel

→ Danish: pastel

→ Dutch: pastel

→ Indonesian: pastel

→ Romanian: pastel

From Italian pastello (“pastel”), from Medieval Latin pastellum (“dough, paste”), from Latin pasta (“dough, paste”), ultimately from Ancient Greek πάστη (pástē, “dough, paste”). Doublet of pastille.


bois

fr-noun

bois m (countable and uncountable, plural bois)

Inherited from Middle French boys, from Old French bois, from Early Medieval Latin boscus, borrowed from Frankish *busk, from Proto-Germanic *buskaz.

etymon

croix de bois, croix de fer, si je mens, je vais en enfer


fusain

Inherited from Middle French fusain (“spindle tree”), receiving an artistic sense in early 18th c. because its carbonized sticks were very convenient for drawing, further from Old French fusain akin to Italian fusaggine (“spindle tree”), derived from Latin fuso (“spindle”), which is from fusus of unclear origin.


cuivre

fr-noun

cuivre m (countable and uncountable, plural cuivres)

Inherited from Old French cuivre, quivre, queivre, coivre, from Latin Cyprium, cupreum (aes) (compare cuprum) from Ancient Greek Κῠ́προς (Kŭ́pros, “Cyprus”). It was not uncommon for Greek short ῠ (pronounced in Classical Attic as /y/) to be adapted as Latin short ŭ. This would normally yield Proto-Western-Romance *[o], but a following palatal sound apparently could cause *[o] to be raised to *[u] (or alternatively, the original close quality of Latin short ŭ to be retained) early enough for the sound change of Proto-Western-Romance *[u] > Old French [y] to apply, yielding the now standard form with ⟨ui⟩ (Old French [yj], modern French [ɥi]). Compare truite from Late Latin tructa, puits from Latin puteus, and huis from Latin ōstium. (But ⟨oi⟩ is seen in forms such as rasoir < rasōrium). Compare the development of ēbrius to French ivre (as opposed to *oivre). A competing explanation supposes a sporadic lowering of Latin ŭ to ŏ (yielding *coprium) or of Western Romance *o to *ɔ, since *ɔ was regularly diphthongized to *uɔ before a palatal and the resulting triphthong *uɔi was simplified to Old French ui (compare corium > cuir).


moule

Inherited from Old French modle, an old (11th century) borrowing from Latin modulus (“measure”) (compare Catalan motlle). Doublet of module, a more recent borrowing.

(art, manufacturing) mould (UK), mold (US)


japonaiserie

From japonais + -erie. Compare japonerie.

(art) Japonism, a style in art, or an artistic object, that reflects the influence of Japanese art


dur

fr-adj

dur (feminine dure, masculine plural durs, feminine plural dures)

dure (feminine)
durs (masculine plural)
dures (feminine plural)

Inherited from Old French, from Latin dūrus, from Proto-Indo-European *deru-, *drew- (“hard, fast”).

c'est quand le jeu devient dur que les durs commencent à jouer

→ Uzbek: etyud

→ Turkish: etüt

From Old French estude, borrowed from Latin studium.

(art) study (artwork made in order to practise or demonstrate a subject)


fleuve

Inherited from Middle French fleuve, from late Old French flueve (12th cent.), according to the traditional view, a dissimilated form of fluive, fluie, a re-borrowing of Latin fluvius (“stream”). Alternatively, confluence with Old French fluet, flot ("river, flood"; from Frankish *flōd) and/or borrowing from Old Norse flóð (“tidal flood, estuarine river or flood”) cannot be ruled out. See flot. Replaced native Old French fluns, flum, from Latin flūmen (compare Occitan flume, Romansch flüm, Italian fiume).

gl

"river, flood"; from Frankish <i class="Latn mention" lang="gmw-pro">*flōd</i>

cog

Les îles grandissent peu à peu et s'entourent d'une large ceinture de roches tapissées de mousses noirâtres ou de longs fucus bruns qui pendent à leurs flancs comme les roseaux de marbre dont les sculpteurs du dernier siècle ornaient leurs statues de fleuves.

1842, Jean Louis Armand de Quatrefages de Bréau, “L’Archipel de Chausey, souvenirs d’un Naturaliste,”, in Revue des Deux Mondes, volume 30:

The islands gradually grow and are surrounded by a broad belt of rocks carpeted with blackish mosses or long brown seaweed hanging from their sides, like the marble reeds with which last century's sculptors decorated their statues of river gods.

Ce dessin [de Marie Laurencin] est ravissant et extrêmement touchant, faites-lui mettre une petite baguette très étroite et un verre. Il est à nous et c’est un petit chef-d’œuvre. Il ne faut point de passe-partout et que l’encadreur n’en rogne rien, laissant visible tout le blanc.

1915 August 25, Guillaume Apollinaire, Lettres à Madeleine:
