French fries are believed to have originated in Belgium, where they were traditionally fried in small, irregularly shaped pieces of potatoes. The term "French fries" actually comes from the way the potatoes are cut, known as "frenching." Despite the name, the dish is more closely associated with Belgium than France.

"French fries" is not a compound word, it's two words.
It comes from the "steak-frites" (beef steak and fried) lunch meal, which is, or rather was, one of the most frequent in restaurants for a quick lunch. Fries were thus deemed to be a staple French food for Americans, hence the expression "French fries" instead of the British "chips". It should probably have been "Belgian Fries", since fries were even more widespread in Belgium than in France, with the "moules-frites" dish (mussels and fries), but American tourists are less familiar with Belgium.
French fries are most popular in countries like the United States, where they are a staple side dish in fast-food restaurants and diners. They are also widely enjoyed in Belgium and France, where they originated, often served with a variety of sauces. Other countries, including Canada and the UK, also have a strong appreciation for French fries, with unique variations such as poutine in Canada and fish and chips in the UK.
American fries, also known as French fries, have a disputed origin but are believed to have been popularized in the United States by Thomas Jefferson in the early 19th century. The dish is made by frying potato strips and is now a staple in American cuisine.
