Etymology

Borrowed from French Category:English terms borrowed from French#LINGERIE Category:English terms derived from French#LINGERIE lingerie (“linen closet”). The irregular pronunciation is a hyperforeignism; it may derive from the frequent shift of /ɛ̃/ (which is this word's first vowel in standard French) toward /ɑ̃/ or [æ̃] in European French, which also tends to be drifted towards /ɔ̃/.
