Inherited from Средњи Енглески Frenche, Frensch, Frensc, Frenshe, Frenk, Franche, from Стари Енглески Frenċisċ (“Frankish, French”), from Lua грешка in Модул:etymology at line 156: Proto-West Germanic (gmw-pro) is not set as an ancestor of Енглески (en) in Модул:languages/data/2. The ancestor of Енглески is Early Modern English (en-ear) (an etymology-only language whose regular parent is Енглески (en)).., equivalent to Frank +‎ -ish (compare Frankish). Cognate with Middle Low German vranksch, frenkisch, vrenkesch, vrenksch (“Frankish, French”), Middle High German vrenkisch, vrensch Галицијски, Дански fransk (“French”), Шведски fransk, fransysk (“French”), Icelandic franska (“French”).

Дублети of Frankish.

In reference to vulgar language, from expressions such as pardon my French in the early 19th century, originally in reference to actual (but often mildly impolite) French expressions by the upper class, subsequently adopted ironically by the lower class for English cursewords under the charitable conceit that the listener would not be familiar with them.

In reference to vermouth, a shortened form of French vermouth, distinguished as usually being drier than Italian vermouth.

As with other collective demonyms, French is preceded by the definite article or some other determiner when referring to the people of France collectively.
