I'm always amused at the rear-guard action of the French Academy
who fancy themselves as the guardians of the French language.
They are especially wary of English words creeping into French,
 
However, since roughly 50% of the English vocabulary is borrowed
from French and Latin, there's a good chance French will just get
a returned word originally from French.
