köken: Inherited from Middle French oraison, from Old French oroison et al., from Latin orātiōnem, whence also English oration. The word, especially in the sense of "oration", may have been a very early borrowing into French in the Middle Ages as the other Romance cognates are borrowed learned terms as well.
