He studied law and practised for a time as an advocate, but eventually took orders and after various promotions became abbé of Chalivoy in the diocese of Bourges in 1662. In a general sense the term Holy Orders refers to those in the Christian religion who have been ordained in Apostolic Succession. In his leisure moments he devoted himself to letters, and in virtue of his satires—Nouvelle Allégorique, ou histoire des derniers troubles arrivés au royaume d'éloquence (1658) and Voyage de Mercure (1653)—he was admitted as a member of the Académie française in 1662. L'Académie française, or the French Academy, is the pre-eminent French learned body on matters pertaining to the French language. The academy had long promised a complete dictionary of the French tongue; and when the members heard that Furetière was on the point of issuing a work of a similar nature, they interfered, alleging that he had purloined from their stores and that they possessed the exclusive privilege of publishing such a book.

After much recrimination on both sides, Furetière was expelled in 1685; but he took revenge in his satire, Couches de l'académie (Amsterdam, 1687). His Dictionnaire universel was posthumously published in 1690 (Rotterdam, 2 vols. ). It was revised and improved by the Protestant jurist Henri Basnage de Beauval (1656–1710), who published his edition (3 vols. Protestantism refers to the forms of Christian faith and practice that originated in the 16th century Protestant Reformation. ) in 1701, and it was superseded only by the compilation known as the Dictionnaire de Trévoux (Paris, 3 vols. , 1704; 7th ed. , 5 vols. , 1771), which was in fact little more than a reimpression of Basnage's edition.
Furetière also wrote Le Roman bourgeois (1666), which cast ridicule on the fashionable romances of Madeleine de Scudéry and of Gauthier de Costes, seigneur de la Calprenède, and described the everyday life of his times. Madeleine de Scudéry (15 November 1607 - 2 June 1701 often known simply as Mademoiselle de Scudéry was a French Writer. Gauthier de Costes seigneur de la Calprenède (1609 or 1610 - 1663 was a French Novelist and Dramatist. A collected Fureteriana appeared in Paris eight years after his death.
