Speaking of which, how did most of these words came to be derived from both languages? Was there a council for "formation of sophisticated new English words through Latin and French"?




I'm not sure whether this is what you are asking, but in any case French is a Romance language, like Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. All of these developed out of Latin, so that's the connection: Latin gave us French, which was in turn foisted on the Anglo-Saxons in Britain, from where it was taken over to the US, Canada etc...

If this was not the question, freely ignore...
