proper noun/dɔ̃ ki.ʃɔt/
Don Quixote (the protagonist of a famous Spanish novel)
From Spanish don Quixote (literally “Lord Quixote”). The French ‹ch› spelling represents the older pronunciation of the Spanish ‹x› spelling, which was /ʃ/ rather than the modern /x/. Compare Portuguese Dom Quixote and Italian Don Chisciotte, whose spelling also reflects the older pronunciation.
