So all English words come from French, German etc etc.

What you are saying is either that these languages are somehow different
in that they are root languages and English is not, or that perhaps no
languages are root.

Rubbish. All languages including English have many root words (mostly Anglo-
Saxon in English) and many words derived and adapted from other languages.

Most basic English words that I can think of right now should probably
be given in rot13, e.g. f**t, f**k, s**t etc!!
