coiffe

common nounverb

Syllable Decomposition

coiffe

from the Late Latin cofia (headdress, bonnet), of obscure origin, perhaps Germanic. The dictionaries of the Académie française had coeffe as the main entry in 1694 and 1718 and coiffe as a variant; in 1798, the relationship is reversed, and from 1835 only coiffe is mentioned.
