- Abstract
Les Anduits, the name of a territory comprising parts of three Haute-Saône villages (Lavigney, Malvillers, and Melin), is the sole example of its type in French toponymy. Examination of the area leads us to postulate an Old Franc-Comtois (or Regional Middle French) *enduit 'dry well', nominalisation of the past participle of Old and Middle French enduire 'seep in the ground (of water)'. This formation is parallel to the suffixal derivative ˹enduisoir˺ 'dry well', which is formed from the present participle stem of the same verb and is abundantly attested in the northern part of Franche-Comté (lexicon and microtoponymy).
