Definition: jogging
Veux-tu faire du footing avec moi ? - Do you want to go jogging with me?
Native French speakers are always surprised to learn that this meaning of "footing," which Le Petit Robert dates to 1885, does not exist in English. The word jogging was imported into French in 1974, and can refer both to the activity as well as to a jogging suit or sweatsuit. (Also see un sweat.)
