Usage Note
Registre has several distinct senses: an official record book (registre d'état civil = civil register), a linguistic register (formal vs. informal registre de langue), and the range of a musical instrument or voice (registre grave = low register). In French administrative language, registre appears constantly in bureaucratic contexts. The verb enregistrer (to record, to register) shares the root.
Examples
