NW Washington | I did not know of the tremendous change that happened to the English language that happened after the Battle of Hasting in 1066 when the Normans took over England until recently. This is the source of many common English words with French roots.
This is from Wiki: "The Battle of Hastings had a tremendous influence on the English language. The Normans were French-speaking, and as a result of their rule, they introduced many French words that started in the nobility and eventually became part of the English language itself." | |
