distingue (adj.)

"having an air of distinction," 1813 (in Byron), from French distingué, literally "distinguished," past participle of distinguer "to separate between, keep separate, mark off" (see distinguish).

The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

With distingué traces

That used to be there — You could see where they'd been washed away

By too many through the day

Twelve o'clock tales.

["Lush Life," Billy Strayhorn, age 17]

There was a verb distingue (Middle English distinguen, mid-14c., "to divide or subdivide, discern, perceive"), from Old French distinguer, but it has not survived.
