So against the rules

Get a dictionary, search for the word, look at the bottom text
(In this format, with alot of abreviations... Theres a section that explains most of them in it somwhere)

 

[Vexorian]

Try a better google search

That stuff should be in the web

Try "Origin of words" instead of "Origin of restoarant"

Also , books actually exist! the web is not your only source

Er

My dictionary is one of those Little Kids ones, so they don't have origins..... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

 

[Vexorian]

Libraries exist.

Online dictionaries also do

restaurant is definately a french word

yes it is:

The term restaurant (from the French restaurer, to restore) first appeared in the 16th century, meaning "a food which restores", and referred specifically to a rich, highly flavoured soup.

dictionary.com has roots of all words if you just ask it to define the word.
