Etymology[edit]

From French oignon.

In French, the plural word enfants is commonly preceded by a word, such as aux, les or mes, whose final s or x is not pronounced except in front of vowels, where it is pronounced /z/. As a result, enfants was reanalyzed as having /z/ at the beginning.

Noun[edit]

zoyon

  1. onion
