FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Funeste

Funeste: Describes something that is harmful or disastrous.  The term is also synonymous with death, ie funerary.

As seen in: « La victoire péquiste a pris une tournure funeste mardi soir qui aurait pu avoir des conséquences graves pour la vie de la première femme élue chef de gouvernement au Québec, Pauline Marois. »

(Translation: “The PQ victory took a disastrous turn Tuesday night that could have had serious consequences for the life of the first woman elected head of government in Quebec, Pauline Marois.”)
