French words of the day: en masse to taxi

en masse

hotel

sortie
The word sortie is rather different from excursion, isn't it?

Ex is out, as in exit. Excursion is to go out and tour around.

But sortie is just to go out, suddenly, come straight back, like escape, or raid.

Escapade - think of words ending in a d e, such as promenade.

taxi
