noun, masculine/a.li.ɡo/plural: aligots
aligot (a potato and cheese dish from Auvergne)
Borrowed from Occitan alicouot. Etymology obscure; possibly from Latin aliquid. Alternative theory derives it from Old French harigoter (“to rip to shreds”), from Frankish *harjōn, from Proto-Germanic *harjōną (“to attack with an army”).
