One Old English word that has survived into Modern English is Father. debt beautiful father army

According to the Oxford Dictionary the origin of father is the Old English fæder, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch vader and German Vater, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin pater and Greek patēr.

Debt comes from Middle English dette: from Old French,and army comes from late Middle English, from Old French armee.
