Longue queue: rang de « nostro » en français
Rare enough to double-check
nostro is uncommon French at frequency #96,189 among 1,563 “N” headwords, classed as anadjective. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Variante de nostre (« notre »)".
nostro doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable French patterns. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is nostro, spelled N-O-S-T-R-O.
