recette

/ʁə.sɛt/

noun, feminine/ʁə.sɛt/plural: recettes

recipe; receipts, takings, income; acceptance testing

Inherited from Old French recete (also reçoite, receite, recepte), from Latin recepta, derived from recipere (“to receive”). The Old French form is phonetically regular (cf. dete < Vulgar Latin *depta), but was probably not inherited, but borrowed from Latin.
