/ˌfrɛn(t)ʃ ˈliːv/, U.S.

/ˌfrɛn(t)ʃ ˈliv/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: French adj., leave n.¹

Etymology: < French adj. + leave n.¹According to an explanation already current in 18th-cent. Britain, this derives from a custom originating in France of going away from a reception, etc., without taking leave of the host or hostess. Compare quot. 1775 and also:1775 J. Jekyll Let. 31 May in Corr. (1894) 28 [French etiquettes] are precise to a degree..I will allow that the single circumstance of taking French leave (which gains ground even among us at present) is easy and natural.

to take (†a) French leave: to depart unnoticed or without permission; (also spec. in military contexts) to escape or take flight; to desert, to take absence without leave. Occasionally in simple use.
