The origin of English words
 Beef

the word beef was introduced from the

French boeuf during the Middle Ages. It was
one of a group of words, including pork, veal,
venison and mutton, that were taken from the
speech of the French noblemen who settled in
Britain following the Norman Conquest of
1066, and whose only encounter with these
animals was at the dining table.
Dictionary is a borrowing from medieval Latin dictionarius liber “book of words”; it first appeared in English in
the 16th century, along with numerous adoptions from Latin and Greek, reflecting the rebirth of interest in
classical learning. the Dictionary
