Frenchman
UK: ˈfrɛn(t)ʃmən | US: ˈfrɛn(t)ʃmən
n. a man from France or of French descent
The word "Frenchman" is a straightforward compound of "French" (derived from Old English "Frencisc," meaning "of the Franks," the Germanic tribe that gave France its name) and "man" (from Old English "mann," meaning "person" or "male human"). The term emerged in Middle English to distinctly identify male inhabitants of France, preserving the cultural and linguistic link to the Frankish roots of the nation.
