The process of making something French in character, style, or custom, or of adopting French culture and language into a different culture.
From 'French' combined with the suffix -ification (meaning 'the process of becoming'). This reflects historical periods when French culture heavily influenced other European societies.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, French culture was so dominant that other European countries had words just for 'becoming more French'—it shows how language captures moments when one culture's influence spreads across borders!
