stevenehrbarThe English word "mail" comes from the Old French "male", meaning bag, and courrier is another word English has borrowed from French. So email and courriel are both English-borrowed French words with a Greek root (electronic/electronique) added on.
Just like, say, moronicidiot and stupidemoros, both words meaning "a person who participates in efforts to preserve the purity of the French Language from English imports."
