Gallicism

Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

A Gallicism can be: <br />* a mode of speech peculiar to the French; <br />* a French idiom; <br />* in general, a French mode or custom. <br />* a loanword, word or phrase borrowed from French. In speaking or writing English, a Gallicism often results from a direct translation from French, giving an unidiomatic expression. False friends often provide occasions for Gallicisms: For example, using the verb to assist to mean to be present at (as in the French assister à) is a Gallicism. So is "we haven't had much chance" to mean "we haven't had much luck."
