FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Heurt

Heurt: A dispute, conflict or clash between individuals or groups of people.

As seen in: « Des heurts très violents ont été enregistrés jeudi matin devant les ambassades des Etats-Unis au Caire en Egypte puis à Sanaa au Yémen. »

(Translation: “Very violent clashes were noted Thursday morning in front of the United States embassies in Cairo, Egypt as well as Sana, Yemen.”)
