Syllable Decomposition
lessivélissive (14th century) by dissimilation of the first /i/ to /ɛ/ : lessive ("alkaline solution used to clean dirty linen") derives from the Latin lixiva (aqua) ("solution based on ashes used for washing"), substantivation of the adjective lixivus derived from lix or lixa ("hot water for laundry"). Old French also had buée which survives with the meaning of "laundry" in certain dialects.
