Tozzin….you will find that a multitude of English words are actually French….often with a Latin root stemming from the days when the Normans conquered us and used their language for such things as the military (lieutenant) and a whole host of legal …(inquisition)and religious (parish)terminology. Add to that the words we have introduced…curry, bungalow, yacht….from places around the globe and you will see English is a rich mixture.
