Ans:

Borrowing, also known as loanword, is a linguistic term that refers to the process of adopting words or expressions from one language and incorporating them into another language. Borrowing occurs due to various factors, including cultural contact, migration, trade, and colonialism. As a result, many languages around the world contain borrowed words from other languages. For example, English has borrowed words from French (such as "restaurant" and "ballet"), German (such as "kindergarten" and "doppelganger"), and many other languages.
