or the technique of altering the tone color of a single note or musical line by changing from one instrument to another in the middle of a note or line.
My ex-teacher used to write with this S even in the singular (the same for "tendus" and "jetés"). But, may it be as Wikipedia says. Thank you for the tip and for the great resource, John! I'll add plié to this list and delete this one.

I wish I was! Wagner is a nice guy but... It's just nicer to imagine:
- What... Is your name?
- Parsifal, leader of the grail brotherhood!
- What... Is your quest?
- I must redeem my knights!
- What... Is your favorite color?
- Blue. No, yelAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Parsifal is an old Holy Grail story, mentioned in books by Wolfran von Eschenbach and Chrétien de Troyes. They inspired Wagner to compose the opera.
