furoncle

/fy.ʁɔ̃kl/

noun, masculine/fy.ʁɔ̃kl/plural: furoncles

boil, furuncle, carbuncle

May be regarded either as an etymological reshaping of Middle French feroncle, on the basis of the original Latin furunculus, or regarded as an outright borrowing of the Latin term, replacing inherited forms such as feroncle and froncle.
