pharmacie

Where prescriptions filled

Pharmacie is the French word for pharmacy—a store where medications are dispensed.

In English contexts, it appears on signs, storefronts, or menus in French-speaking areas or establishments cultivating European ambiance.

The spelling signals foreignness or sophistication: We stopped at a pharmacie in Paris for aspirin.
