seigle

/sɛɡl/

noun, masculine/sɛɡl/plural: seigles

rye (grass or its grains as food)

Inherited from Middle French seigle, from Old French soigle, segle, seygle, from Latin sēcale. Possibly through the intermediate of Old Occitan segle (at least concerning this form; cf. regional variants seille, soile, Walloon swele, Old French soile, which were inherited).
