homard

== French == === Etymology === From Middle French homard, hommars, houmar (all 16th c.), probably via Middle Low German hummer from Old Norse humarr (“lobster”), from Proto-Germanic *humaraz. A direct borrowing from Scandinavian is less likely regarding the late attestation. Dutch hommer dates from the 19th century and cannot have been the source. Cognate with German Hummer, Middle English hemroll, all “lobster”. === Pronunciation === (aspirated h) IPA(key): /ɔ.maʁ/, /o.maʁ/ (Louisiana) IPA(key): /hɔ̃mar/, /ɔ̃mar/ === Noun === homard m (plural homards) lobster (a crustacean of the Nephropidae, or Homaridae, family) 1758, Histoire Naturelle des Insectes, traduite du Biblia Naturae de Jean Swammerdam, Collection Académique, composée des mémoires, actes ou journaux […] , volume 5 of the series (2 of the subseries), Article III, page 447: Synonym: lobster m (Louisiana) ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === See also === écrevisse (“crayfish”) langoustine (“Norway lobster”) === References === === Further reading === “homard”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 Dictionary of Louisiana French: As Spoken in Cajun, Creole, and American Indian Communities (2009; →ISBN; →ISBN) == Middle English == === Adverb === homard alternative form of homward
