What french words start with z and what do they mean?

You're right to be curious! There are very few French words that start with "z," and most are borrowed from other languages. Here are a few:

* Zénith (zenith): This is the highest point in the sky, directly overhead.

* Zéphyr (zephyr): This is a gentle, west wind.

* Zigzag (zigzag): This word is borrowed from English, but it's widely used in French.

* Zoo (zoo): This is also borrowed from English, but it's a common word in French.

While there are not many French words starting with "z," it's interesting to see how some words from other languages have become integrated into the French vocabulary!
