English Usage - chaise longue, chaise lounge - English editing.

Chaise longue comes from French, literally ‘a long chair’, with longue being the feminine form of the French adjective long. Since it has a very un-English spelling and pronunciation, it has been transformed by folk etymology into the logical chaise lounge in the US, where it is the accepted and dominant form.
