A loanword is a word taken from one language and used in another. These words are also called “borrowed words” or “borrowings.” Interestingly, the term “loanword” itself comes from the German word Lehnwort, making it an example of a “loan translation” (a word or phrase translated from one language to another). However, the term “loanword” can be misleading because, once a word is borrowed, it is rarely ever “returned” to the original language.
