Best Answer

Cognates. Words that sound or look very much alike and have closely related meanings in any two languages are cognates.

Words that are completely unrelated and just happen to resemble each other without having a common root are not cognates.

English words that are like french words?

There are many words in English that have their origins in French (or Norman). It's one of the reasons that English is such a rich language as there are often "French" and "Saxon" words for the same thing (for example, courage (French) and bravery (Saxon)). Some other "French" based words in English are: perfume, accomplice, admire, ace, baggage, ballet - there is a link associated with this answer which provides a much longer list.
