Peaches à la Crème

Glossary of French words and expressions in English

Many words in the English language are of French origin ("gallicism"s). Most of them came from the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English. English words of French origin, such as art, competition, force, money, and table are pronounced according to English rules of phonology, rather than French, and English speakers commonly use them without any awareness of their French origin.
