Question

List three words that have a French origin in English

Answer 1

A great number of words of French originhave entered the English language to the extent that many Latin words have come to the English language. According to different sources, 45% of all English words have a French origin.[1] This suggests that 80,000 words should appear in this list; this list, however, only includes words imported directly from French, such as both joy andjoyous, and does not include derivatives formed in English of words borrowed from French, including joyful, joyfulness,partisanship, and parenthood. It also excludes both combinations of words of French origin with words whose origin is a language other than French — e. g.: ice cream, sunray, jellyfish, killjoy,lifeguard, and passageway— and English-made combinations of words of French origin — e. g.: grapefruit (grape + fruit),layperson (lay + person), mailorder,magpie, marketplace, surrender,petticoat, and straitjacket.
