Usage Note
dépêche refers to an official or journalistic dispatch — a brief urgent message. It is closely associated with the news agency l'Agence France-Presse (AFP), whose wire reports are called dépêches. The verb se dépêcher ('to hurry') shares the same root but is entirely separate in usage.
Examples
"La dépêche a été publiée ce matin."
Natural Translation
The dispatch was published this morning.
