Answer:
Rendezvous comes from the French rendez-vous, meaning a meeting or appointment, and its pronunciation was very much influenced by French pronunciation. Rendezvous is a borrowing from French and still carries with it a French pronunciation, modified to fit available English sounds: ˈrɑndeɪˌvu (like ron-day-voo).
