Which of the following words comes from the Norman French?

Correct Answer: Beauty

The word "beauty" comes from Norman French.

After the Norman Conquest of 1066, French became the language of the English ruling class, and many French words entered the English language — often relating to culture, law, government, and refined concepts.

"Apple" — Old English (æppel)
"Cow" — Old English (cū)
"Summer" — Old English (sumor)
"Beauty" — Norman French (beaute)
