plumer
To pluck a bird's feathers - the verb Alouette conjugates about thirty times, always in the future: , I shall pluck you. A regular -er verb built on , the feather, so the family comes as a set: la plume, plumer, le plumage.
Off the farm it means to fleece: is to be plucked clean at cards, in a casino, or by a tourist-trap menu. The song's lark, in other words, is not the last thing in France to be plumé.
