French[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle French chasque, a backformation from chascun, from Old French chascun (whence modern chacun). The Old French derives from a conflation of Vulgar Latin *quiscunus (from quisque unus) with synonymous *catunus (from cata unus, from Ancient Greek κατά (katá), whence Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese cada). The short vowel (and hence the lack of a circumflex) is due to the usually unstressed position (cf. notre vs. le nôtre).

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /ʃak/
  • (file)

Adjective[edit]

chaque (invariable)
