Which of the following words comes from the Norman French (choose ONE option)?
Correct Answer: Beauty
After the Norman Conquest of 1066, Norman French became the language of England's ruling class.
Words like "beauty" (from Old French beauté) and "park" entered everyday English from French-speaking Norman lords. Meanwhile, Old English words survived for everyday life — for example, "cow" (Old English) became "beef" (Norman French) when served at the table.
