Etymology 2

Inherited from Middle French est, from Old French est, from Latin est, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ésti. Next to Jésus-Christ, it is the only word in which silent internal s remains in modern French spelling. The expected form êt existed, but did not establish itself, in contrast to être and êtes. Possible reasons are the sheer frequency of est, its exact agreement with the Latin form, and the fact that it was usually unstressed and thus shortened.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɛ/, (in liaison) /ɛ.t‿/, (in liaison) /e.t‿/
  • Homophones: aie, aies, aient, ais, ait, es (general), haie, haies, hais, hait (aspirated)
