train是法语借用到英语的词吗？

Question

法语和英语火车都是train,它本身是法语词还是法语借用英语的？

Answer 1

这种“古老”的词 当然是英语借法语（也有拉丁起源）
1350-1400; (v.) late Middle English traynyn to pull ordrag in the rear < Middle French trainer, Old Frenchtra (h) iner < Vulgar Latin *tragīnāre, derivative of*tragīna something dragged or drawn (compareMedieval Latin tragīna carriage), derivative of *tragereto pull, for Latin trahere; (noun) Middle English train,traine < Old French tra (h) in (masculine) series ofpeople, animals, or things, tra (h) ine (feminine)something dragged behind, both derivative of tra (h) iner
法语借英语的一般都是比较现代的词 比如mail，box等等
