    abattoir... my new word for the day. [ˈabəˌtwär]

    NOUN BRITISH a slaughterhouse.
    synonyms: slaughterhouse · butchery · knacker's yard · shambles · butcher-row

    The word is French, not British.

    The Norman invasion of Britain guaranteed that good old Germanic English would be littered with French vocabulary. Ever notice that the word for the livestock is English and the word for the meat derived from that animal is French ?

    cow boeuf
    sheep mouton
    pig porc
    deer venaison

    After the invasion, the folks tending the animals were British serfs and the folks enjoying the meat were French invaders.

    Try the Wiktionary; they do a good job of showing the etymology of a word...

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page

    for example...

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abattoir
