Mortgage
The term mortgage technically originates from the Law French, an
archaic language based on Norman and Anglo-Norman and literally
meaning "dead pledge.
" Mortgage refers to the legal device designed to securing the
property.

In French, the only sounded final consonants are C, R, F and L, as in CaReFuL.
