Usage Note

Cachet has three distinct uses: a medicinal tablet or pill (prendre un cachet d'aspirine), a postmark or official stamp on a document, and — most distinctively — a quality of style or distinction (cette maison a du cachet means 'this house has character'). The third sense has no direct English equivalent.

Examples

"Prends un cachet pour le mal de tête."

Natural Translation

Take a tablet for the headache.
