In English we have words which combine two words in romance languages. For example, hot in English means both spicy and high temperature — if someone asks if your food is hot, what do you say?

Hot can also mean sexually excited or sexually desirable. If someone says, “I’m hot” or “she’s hot” it is not clear what they are referring to (always).

Similarly, free means both liberty and no cost. Screaming, “I’m free” evokes ambiguity.

high temperature in French — chaud,
spicy hot in French — picante

free as in liberty in French — libre
free as in no cost in French — gratuit
