Usage Note
Mot also refers to a short written note, as in laisser un mot ('to leave a note'). The phrase avoir le dernier mot means 'to have the last word.' Mot is distinct from parole (spoken word) and terme (technical term), though all three can translate as 'word' depending on context.
Examples
"Il ne dit pas un mot."
