Answer:

The origin of the word Renaissance is French.

Step-by-step explanation:

Renaissance results from the combination of the prefix re-, meaning again, and the noun naissance, meaning birth. Both, the prefix and the noun are French. Their combination means rebirth, or to be born again.

The French noun naissance comes from the Latin word nascentia.

The word Renaissance is used to refer to a certain period in Europe when classical-based art was revived and appreciated.
