cueillir

to gather, pick; to grab, snatch, nab

“cueillir des fruits, des fleurs” — to pick fruit(s), flowers

Inherited from Old French coillir, formed analogically, with the verbal suffix -ir, from cueil, stressed conjugated form of the original cueudre, cueildre, cueldre, from Latin colligere (“collect”), from con- (“with, together”) + legō (“bring together, gather, collect”). Doublet of colliger.
