Noun

fouet (plural fouets)

  1. (Scotland) Alternative form of fouat (“houseleek”)

French

Etymology

From Middle French fouet, diminutive in -et of Old French fou (“beech”), from Latin fagus.

Since the morpheme boundary was no longer felt in Middle French, [u.ɛ] was contracted to [wɛ] and this later developed regularly to [wa] (as it did in oi, oe). The contemporary pronunciation was reinforced by the spelling and the desire to distinguish from foi, foie and fois.
