Answer:
crayon or craie de cire
Step-by-step explanation:
The French word le crayon primarily means pencil. What we call a crayon in English would be referred to in French as une craie de cire, which literally means “wax pencil”. The tricky thing is that in French a craie de cire is thought of as a sub-category of crayon. So the French crayon refers to a broader category than English “pencil” - a category that is inclusive of what we call crayons in English.
