The Double French Invasion

Speaking of WordsBy MICHAEL FERBER A few years ago my wife and I flew on Icelandair to Europe. On one of the doors in the airplane was the word Neytharutgangur. I could figure out the utgangur part: it would be outgang in English if we had not adopted the Latin word exit. In fact in some dialects outgang was an English word until the early twentieth century. A little later, in Amsterdam, we saw signs saying Nooduitgang, and then in Berlin we saw Notausgang. It finally dawned on me that Neythar, Nood, and Not are akin to English “need.” So why don’t we say Needoutgang, like our three Germanic cousins, instead of “Emergency Exit”? It’s because of the French.
