Usage Note
Pique-nique is written with a hyphen and its plural is pique-niques. The derived verb is pique-niquer ('to picnic'). The word likely came from French piquer ('to pick') + nique (trivial thing), though it may have been borrowed back from English. Outdoor picnics are deeply embedded in French leisure culture.
