I don't think the GP claimed it is a French word. Actually he explicitly said that it's not, and I don't see him claiming anything on its origins.



My point was mainly just in regards to a word spelled with a say grave or acute accent doesn't necessarily originate from French.

And the origin was to demonstrate that this word is both misspelled, and has no direct relation to French at all since it originates from Italian.
