The word 'professionnel' in French is used to describe someone who is skilled or experienced in a particular field or occupation. It can also be used to describe a job or occupation itself, as in 'un emploi professionnel'. The term is often used to distinguish between amateur and professional levels of skill or experience. For example, a 'footballeur professionnel' is a professional soccer player, while a 'footballeur amateur' is a player who does not receive payment for their participation in the sport.
