| Back | boîte \bwaht; Fr. bwat\ |
|---|---|
| Front | noun A nightclub; cabaret. [Boîte entered English in the early 1900s from the French word of the same spelling, which literally means "box" but is also used to refer to a nightclub, from the phrase boîte de nuit which means "box of the night."] Three more people entered the boîte and one of them was Clarisse. She saw Daniel, nodded without smiling and looked for a place to sit. - Hugh MacLennan, Return of the Sphinx, 1967 You're here now, at this groovy new boîte, for instance. - Kim Moritsugu, The Restoration of Emily, 2006 |
