De rigeur
Interesting diversity of meanings in its numerous progeny, from its humble PIE origin. This comes to English speakers, of course, from French, which obtained it from Latin. It's use now appears to be out of fashion.

Oops. I have no one to blame but myself for the spelling. Thanks for catching that.
