cueillir

verb

Syllable Decomposition

cueillir

from the Latin colligere ("to collect, gather" see con- and legere). The infinitive cueillir owes its root to the stressed forms of the old diphthong -ue- resulting from open /ɔ/ whose pronunciation evolved to /œ/ (for a similar example, see cor which became cuer in Old French then cœur), and its -ir ending to an analogical remodeling (from the perfect coilli).
