andalou

== French == === Alternative forms === andalous (obsolete) === Etymology === Borrowed from Spanish andaluz. The singular in -ou is probably a backformation from the plural. It became common first in the equestrian sense, where the feminine is rare; this then caused the spelling inconsistency between masculine and feminine forms (compare also absous, coi, esquimau, favori). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɑ̃.da.lu/ === Adjective === andalou (feminine andalouse, masculine plural andalous, feminine plural andalouses) Andalusian (of, from or relating to the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain) ==== Derived terms ==== arabe andalou sauce andalouse ==== Related terms ==== Andalousie === Further reading === “andalou”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
