Anglicization or Englishing refers to the respelling made to foreign names, words or phrases to make them easier to spell or pronounce in English. The anglicising of non- English words for use in English is a case of widespread domestication of foreign words that is common to many languages.
Examples:
French dent-de-lion (Dandelion)
Danish city København (Copenhagen)
Aristoteles (Aristotle)
