Relating to the Franks, a Germanic tribe that ruled Europe in the early Medieval period, or to the Old Germanic language they spoke.
From 'Frank' (the name of the Germanic people) plus '-ish' (a common English suffix meaning 'of or relating to'). The Franks gave their name to 'France' and 'Frankreich' (German for France), showing their historical importance.
The Frankish Empire under Charlemagne was the most powerful force in medieval Europe, and they basically created the template for European feudalism and the modern nation-state—so much of European history flows from these fierce Germanic warriors!
