Episode 64: France

from Words for Granted - An etymology and linguistics podcast

The name of France derives from the name of a Germanic tribe called the Franks. In addition to the name of France, the namesake of the Franks also produced a handful of other common English words, such as 'frank,' 'franchise,' and 'Franklin,' among others. Today, these words have little to do with France, but as we investigate their etymologies, subtle connections begin to emerge.
