“Domain” derives from Old French, denoting heritable or landed property; its Latin-derived cognate, “domicile,” means, of course, “home.”

Apparently, “nice” comes to us from Latin, through Old French, into Middle English, then into the English we speak today.

The word “morgue” comes from the Old French “morguer,” meaning “to look at solemnly.”

“Marshal” comes from the Old French “mareschal”, originally meaning someone who looked after horses, and then a military commander.

Its use goes back as far as around 1300, when in Old French, it meant pretty much the same thing as it does now.
