French gave English essential vocabulary, that of law, trade, spirituality, art and government... If English is a prestigious, international language today, it is thanks to French.
Examples of English words with their origin in Norman French include 'accuse', 'bacon', 'enemy', 'surrender', 'people', 'chivalry', 'majesty' 'fashion', and 'wicket'.
