Translation
bill, invoice; not the rare English word facture
Word origin
From Latin factura ('a making, a working'), from facere ('to make, to do'). French moved the word into commerce, where a 'facture' is the written statement of goods made or supplied, so it means a bill and never the English 'facture' (the manner in which something is made).
