The word 'nitrogène' exists in French. But the preference tends toward the word 'azote', of the same meaning. For that's the name that was given to the element, in 1779, by Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier [August 26, 1743-May 8, 1794]. The word comes from the Greek 'a', which means 'without'; and 'zoe', which means 'life'. For nitrogen doesn't support life. And the continued, widespread use of the term memorializes the great French chemist's work.
