French

Etymology

From Middle French mésaise, mesaise, from Old French meseise, equivalent to més- (“mis-, dys-”) +‎ aise. The change from feminine in Old French to masculine in French is unexplained, especially as aise has remained feminine, but may be due to influence from malaise m.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /me.zɛz/

Noun

mésaise m (plural mésaises)

  1. (dated or archaic) discomfort; unease
