minus-squaredankm@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 个月前Sometimes you get article transfer as well. The English word “apron” comes from the obsolete “napron”, in turn from Old French “napperon”. People heard “a napron”, which became “an apron”, which eventually led to the main word being “apron”.
