pilule
French[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Medieval Latin pilula, apparently first attested in the fourteenth century,[1] in turn inherited from the Classical Latin, attested in the medical sense in Pliny. Note that Italian pillola[2][3] and Spanish píldora[4] are widely regarded as inheritances, not borrowings.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
pilule f (plural pilules)
- pill (small object to be swallowed)
- (with the definite article la) the contraceptive pill
