This series of blogs aims to provide GRE aspirants Verbal resources to bolster their GRE Preparation online. In this blog, we will explore a few English words adapted from French i.e. Loanwords, in continuation to our last blog, where we looked at <a href=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/gre-verbal\/vocabulary-word-list\/gre-word-list-14-scandinavian-loanwords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scandinavian Loanwords.<\/a><br><br>If you haven&#8217;t read that yet, check it out!<br><br>You can find the other GRE Online Preparation Word List Blogs <a href=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Scandinavian loanwords blog from last week, combined with the excitement surrounding the release of the new James Bond movie made me think about other languages that English heavily borrows from. While we&#8217;ve already done Greek and Latin (and will do more of those in the future), one language we haven&#8217;t really explored is French. (Therefore) Par suite&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Pardon My French&#8217; or &#8216;Excuse My French&#8217; is an expression that&#8217;s an attempt to disguise profanity as words from the French language. However, we won&#8217;t be having any of that here. The French words in this blog are French phrases that have entered common English parlance and give one&#8217;s vocabulary an air of distinction.<br><br>This week&#8217;s words are <strong>pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance, coup de gr\u00e2ce, cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me, force majeure, and carte blanche.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<style><\/style><!-- begin-flying-press-lazy-render -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full has-custom-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wzko.pro\/online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1.webp\" alt=\"GRE Vocabulary Builder\" class=\"has-border-color has-palette-color-3-border-color wp-image-2786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1-300x75.webp 300w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1-768x192.webp 768w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1-360x90.webp 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<!-- end-flying-press-lazy-render -->\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"i-piece-de-resistance\">i. pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part of Speech<\/strong> &#8211; noun<br><strong>Definition<\/strong> &#8211; (especially with reference to creative work) the most important or remarkable feature.<br><strong>Word Origins<\/strong> &#8211; French, literally \u2018piece (i.e. means) of resistance\u2019 or \u201cthe piece with staying power.\u201d<br><strong>Synonyms<\/strong> &#8211; magnum opus, tour de force, forte.<br><strong>Usage<\/strong> &#8211; Gordon Ramsay\u2019s Beef Wellington is his pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piece-de-resistance-1024x1024.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piece-de-resistance-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"piece de resistance\" class=\"wp-image-1186 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piece-de-resistance.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piece-de-resistance-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piece-de-resistance-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piece-de-resistance-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piece-de-resistance-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-chef-s-special\">The Chef&#8217;s Special<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The term &#8216;pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance&#8217; originated in the 1800s in the setting of French restaurants.<br><br>Apocryphally, it referred to <strong>the<\/strong> dish people came to eat at a restaurant.

It became popular in England in the 18th century.<br>Cream, being the best-tasting part of milk, was considered a luxury item. As a result, only rich households consumed cream. To the aspiring bourgeoisie and the lower class, cream was aspirational. So, it stands to reason, that the best thing they could attain was cream of the cream, so to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A variant of this phrase was in use much before this, since the 16th century &#8211; cream of the crop &#8211; and had the same connotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wu-Tang Clan is an American hip-hop group formed in 1992.

When the paper in question became to be associated with monetary matters, the concept of the &#8216;blank cheque&#8217; was established. Being handed a &#8216;blank cheque&#8217; essentially meant that one could name their price for whatever was being bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legendary author Arthur Conan Doyle notably used &#8216;carte blanche&#8217; in several of his stories, of which &#8216;A Scandal in Bohemia&#8217; and &#8216;The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet&#8217; are the most notable.
