Best Answer

'Orchid' is an English equivalent of 'orchidée' [Orchidaceae family].

The feminine noun 'orchidée' means 'orchid'. Its singular definite article is 'l'* ['the']. Its singular indefinite article is 'une' ['a, one'].

It's pronounced 'ohr-kee-deh'.

*The feminine singular definite article actually is 'la'. But the vowel 'a' drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe: 'l'orchidée'.
