French

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle French, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old French pluspart (“the greater/greatest part of something”), equivalent to plus +‎ part. Probably calqued from a (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "gem" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. phrase related to Old English māra dǣl (“majority”, literally “the greater part”), Dutch meerdeel, German Mehrteil.
