4. Comment upon the distinction between the following terms: “source of borrowing” and “origin of a word”? There is also certain confusion between the terms source of borrowings and origin of the word. This confusion may be seen in contradictory marking of one dictionary and Latin borrowing in another. It is suggested here that the term source of borrowing should be applied to the language from which this or that particular word was taken into English. So when describing words as Latin, French or Scandinavian borrowings we point out their source but not their origin. The term origin of the word should be applied to the language the word may be traced to. Thus, the French borrowing table is Latin by origin, the Latin borrowing school came into Latin from the Greek language, so it may be described as Greek by origin.
It should be remembered, however, that whereas the immediate source of borrowing is as a rule known and can be stated with same certainty, the actual origin of the word may be rather doubtful. For example, the word ink was borrowed from Old French, but it may be traced back to Latin and still further to Greek, and it is quite possible that it was borrowed into Greek from some other language.
The immediate source of borrowing is naturally of greater importance for language students because it reveals the extra-linguistic factors responsible for the act of borrowing, and also because the borrowed words bear, as a rule, the imprint of the sound and graphic form, the morphological and semantic structure characteristic of the language they were borrowed from.
