Etymology

The French noun *feu* comes from Latin *focus* “fire, hearth,” which entered Old French as *fue* or *fou* via Vulgar Latin *focum*. Over time the spelling shifted to the modern *feu*, while the word’s meaning remained that of natural fire. The Latin root itself is linked to the Proto‑Indo‑European *peuk-* “to burn.”
