Here’s a Fun Fact! Connoisseur
is not a French word
How disappointing. Next you're going to tell us that French Fries aren't French either.
Well, since you mentioned it...
Anyway, the word "Connoisseur" is in fact an entirely English word of French origin, coming from the French "connoistre," meaning "to know," or "to be acquainted with." When the word is used in French parlance, it is spelled slightly differently, as "connaisseur."
I was made aware of this Fun Fact very recently, and thought you'd all like to be as apprised as I am. You are welcome.
