noun, feminine/pʁwa/plural: proies
proie is feminine in French.
prey; booty
“[…]toute la rangée de sheds serait devenue une proie des flammes.” — ...the whole row of sheds would be consumed by flames.
Inherited from Old French proie, preie, from Latin praeda (probably via a Late Latin variant proeda or *prēda; the expected outcome of praeda would be *priée).
