There's an old story of a king. The king had issues writing so he hired people to write for him, those people were payed for every word they wrote. Once they realised this, they began writing a bunch of letters that didn't make sense and since tbe king had issues with written words he just went with it. That's how we got the french language

Reminds me of when I was asked to spell “Wednesday” when I was 7. How was I supposed to know that it’s spelled in such a different way than it’s pronounced? I almost rioted on that one

Fun fact : in the original french word, it's actually guet-apens, with a dash in the middle. So that was the easy mode we saw here. Also, what in the world did you english-speaking people do to this word for the pronunciation to end up like this?

We have a lot of French words. We actually have a bunch of of words that will mess people up or the stupid people will be offended by (sadly some of those words are mispronounced by the people giving the words), like cwm, Niger, nigah, moot, maude, slav, slaven, and slavin, to name a few.
