Well, honey, you're on the right track! The word "mortgage" does indeed have French origins. It comes from the Old French words "mort," meaning dead, and "gage," meaning pledge. So next time you're drowning in debt, just remember you're literally making a dead pledge with your house. Ain't language fun?
