The Freehub is the entire rear hub, "moyeu cassette" or "moyeu k7."
I think you're asking about the "Freehub body" which is the part with
the ratchet mechanism, and the external splines where the sprockets
slide on.
This would be "corps de cassette" or "corps de k7."
"k7" is a punny French way of spelling "cassette."
The letter "k" is pronounced "kah" and the number "7" is "sept." The
"p" is basically silent, so "kah sept" sounds basically the same as
"cassette"
