French
Etymology
From Middle French canard, from Old French quanart (“duck”), from cane (“duck”) + -ard. Perhaps ultimately from the same imitative root as caner (“cackle, prattle”).
Alternatively from Middle French canard (“duck, male duck”), from cane (“duck, female duck”, literally “floater, little boat”), from Old French cane (“boat, ship; waterbird”), from Middle Low German kane (“boat”), from Proto-Germanic *kanô (“boat, vessel”), from Proto-Indo-European *gan-, *gand?- (“vessel, tub”).
Cognate with Norwegian kane (“swan-shaped vessel”), German Kahn (“boat”), Old Norse kæna (“little boat”), and possibly Old Norse kn?rr (“ship”) (whence also Late Latin canardus (“ship”), from Germanic; and Old English cnearr (“merchant ship”)). Related to French canot (“little boat”).

- Il est facile de distinguer le canard commun de la cane. Le mâle est plus gros que la femelle; il a aussi la voix plus forte et le plumage plus éclatant; mais le signe le plus saillant, c'est un assemblage de plusiers plumes retroussées que le mâle portes sur le croupion, à l'origine de la queue. Le canard et la cane sont propres à l'accouplement jusqu'à trois ou quatre ans; il faut les remplacer à cet âge par des sujest plus jeunes. Un canard suffit pour dix ou douze canes.
