etiolate
Bill, you're skipping around the edges of a logical fallacy, but not quite falling in. I didn't say it was Latin; but on the other hand, a word derived from French is generally from Latin in turn, unless it's from a Celtic Gallic word or some other peculiarity. As to why a Latin-influenced pronunciation if it's not Latin, don't ask.
