mésaise

Etymology

From Old French, from 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.

  • IPA(key): /me.zɛz/

Noun

mésaise m (plural mésaises)

  1. (obsolete) discomfort; unease
