"Le cor anglais"
The word "oboe" originated as a bastardization of the english "hoboy" from the french "hautbois". The original french name translates to "high wood" and was called such because it was the highest woodwind instrument at the time of its invention.
The correct name for the instrument is simply the horn, or F horn, or horn in F. That F refers to the key in which it plays. People erroneously thought the F stood for French, and the name stuck. There was something unsatisfying about calling an instrument the horn without adding a modifier to the name.
