When did it come into English?[edit]

Was this introduced into English during the time following the Norman conquest? 71.66.97.228 23:58, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Not according to our current etymology. Depends (or so I'd say) when the first English attestations are. Pre-1400, can't be Middle French as MIddle French didn't exist yet. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:01, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
