I love when I learn a new word through reading - or better yet, through editing, as with this one, and isn't it a beauty?
coquelicot: French for "poppy"; also used in English as a color name, the shade of red of wild corn poppies. In French it derives from "cry of the rooster," and is pronounced "KOHK-li-koh" - the sound a rooster makes. It was so named because the flower and the rooster's comb are a similar color.
