étinceler

== French == === Etymology === From étincelle +‎ -er. Found in Old French as estenceler. Alternatively but less likely from a Vulgar Latin *stincillāre, with metathesis from Latin scintillāre (thus a doublet of scintiller), or adapted to étincelle. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /e.tɛ̃.sle/ === Verb === étinceler (archaic) to spark (give off sparks) to sparkle, twinkle ==== Conjugation ==== With the exception of appeler, jeter and their derived verbs, all verbs that used to double the consonants can now also be conjugated like amener. === Further reading === “étinceler”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
