fessus

== French == === Adjective === fessus masculine plural of fessu == Latin == === Etymology === Possibly for Proto-Italic *fassos, from pre-Italic *dʰH-t-tós, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeH- (“to fade, disappear”) (compare Old Irish ru-deda (“to vanish”), Old English demm (“harm”)), but this is uncertain due to both phonetic and semantic problems.
