store

blind, window shade

noun STOR Rare
Home & Lifestyle Furniture

Usage Note

Store in French specifically means a roller blind or pull-down window shade, not the full range of coverings implied by the English word 'blind'. A store vénitien is a Venetian blind. It is a false friend: the English 'store' (shop) is magasin or boutique in French.

Examples

"Elle baisse le store pour bloquer le soleil."

Natural Translation

She lowers the blind to block the sun.
