doigt

/dwa/

noun, masculine/dwa/plural: doigts

finger; toe; finger (measurement of a beverage)

Je vais me tremper les doigts de pied.I'll dip my toes in the water.

Inherited from Middle French doigt, doit, from Old French doit, doi, from Latin digitus, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *deyǵ- (“to show, point out, pronounce solemnly”). The -g- was added to the spelling in Middle French after the Latin form and in order to distinguish from the verb form doit.
