Introduction to the verb coqueter
The English translation of the French verb coqueter is “to flirt.” It is pronounced “koh-ke-teh.”
The word coqueter comes from the Latin word “coquere,” which means “to cook” or “to prepare,” and the suffix “-ter,” which is used to form verbs. In the 16th century, the word “coquetier” was used in French to refer to a small, shallow dish used for cooking eggs or other foods. From there, the word evolved to mean “to play with” or “to dally with,” and eventually took on the meaning of “to flirt.”
