pə-'näsh – 1: an ornamental tuft (as of feathers) esp. on a helmet 2: dash or flamboyance in style and action : verve

(ä pronounced as in "cot") The Middle French word seems to have entered English usage from Late Latin, where it meant a small wing, via Old Italian.

Verve is another French word, denoting fantasy, caprice, and animation. Its usual English meaning is : the spirit and enthusiasm animating artistic composition or performance.
