Foreign languages are not merely academic subjects but practical tools employed by individuals for communication in real-world scenarios. The international vocabulary of any language undergoes changes driven by economic, scientific, and educational developments, among other factors, and these changes are influenced by the passage of time. Etymological linguistic analysis of Indo-European languages has revealed that the inventory of borrowed words surpasses that of native words. The aim of our research is to investigate the presence of French borrowings in contemporary English.
