Zeitgeist is a commonly used word in English. It means the general spirit or atmosphere. Here's another English word that means the same thing: Ambiance

The point I'm making is that modern English consists of words appropriated, or maybe slightly modified, from many other languages. We can all think of dozens of them. That's what makes English so fascinating.
