語源

Borrowed from Anglo-Norman Fraunce, from Late Latin Francia, from francus +‎ -ia. As an adjective, presumably a modification of Fransch, variant of Frensch, after the proper noun; compare the possible reverse analogy in the rare variant Franche, though there are other explanations for such forms (such as influence from Old Northern French Franche).
