Romain Jeanticou, journalist at Télérama, wrote an article on the words that disappear from the French language (Les mots se cachent-ils pour mourir ? (Do words hide to die?)). He describes the approaches of the Robert and Larousse editions and mentions some words that have disappear (essuie-plume, cache-corset). Interestingly, he queries Carine Girac-Marinier from Larousse, who says that there are only 200,000 words in the French language, 63,000 of which are in his dictionary. There are many ways to count the words used, depending on the time, geographic expansion and which speciality is taken into account, but the French-speaking Wiktionary already defines more than two and a half times the proposed figure!
