proie

/pʁwa/

noun, feminine/pʁwa/plural: proies

prey; booty

[…]toute la rangée de sheds serait devenue une proie des flammes....the whole row of sheds would be consumed by flames.

Inherited from Old French proie, preie, from Latin praeda (probably via a Late Latin variant proeda or *prēda; the expected outcome of praeda would be *priée).
