What is the French 'entracte' in English?

Answer 1

Intermission is an English equivalent of 'entracte'. The word in French is a masculine noun whose definite article is 'le'* ['the'], and whose indefinite article is 'un' ['a, one']. It literally translates as 'between act'. It's pronounced 'awn-trahkt'.

*The vowel 'e' is dropped before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of the drop is indicated by the apostrophe: 'l'entracte'.
