  1. Not certain about all four, but the ones i'd go for would be:

    Deviate (if deviation is on list then deviate would follow the same reasoning)

    Obviate (entirely based on sound/spelling of word, however french word for this is obvier so similar)

    Deviation (on list from link below)

    Envoy (like the french envoyer)

    Good Luck - let me know the answer would be very interesting to find out!


  2. 1. Précédent

    2. Convoi

    3. Convey

    4. Déviant

    5. Éviter

    6. Acheminement

    7. Écart

    8. Obvious

    9. Envoyé

  3. Deviate, Deviation. Fr Devier, Deviation Lat Deviare.

    Obviate. Fr Obvier Lat Obviare.

    Envoy. Fr envoyé Lat lnviare.
