Prononcé comme (IPA)

/fwa/

Étymologie

Inherited from Middle French foys, from Old French foiz, from earlier feiz, from Latin vicem. The reason for the development of an initial /f/, instead of the expected /v/, is not entirely clear. It may be the result of voicing assimilation to the final consonants of numerals such as deus (“two”) or set (“seven”), which would have often preceded the word. Cognate with Portuguese and Spanish vez.
