When does a loanword become native? Single, example, language, exception, proper, use, and century are all words that came from French.

Not a lone one of those forebisens is an English-tongue word. They are all loanwords, with the outlier of two ownnames and a forebisen of oldspelling which hasn't been noted in yearhundreds.

    It becomes a "normal" word when people use it. All these words are essentially not used at all.
