It comes from French.
Actually, the machine was invented in England, but its use was proposed in France by a Dr. GUILLOTIN.
- It's also interesting to note that the word "guillotine" is very closely related to GILTINE, an old Lithuanian Goddess of Death. I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with the name of the machine itself, just a coincidence worth mentioning.
