contributions to the stock of English synonyms. There are, for instance, words 
that come from dialects, and, in the last hundred years, from American English 
in particular. As a result speakers of British English may make use of both 
elements of the following pairs, the first element in each pair coming from the 
USA: 
gimmick 
- 
trick; dues 
- 
subscription; long distance (telephone) call 
- 
trunk 
call; radio 
- 
wireless. 
There are also synonyms that originate in numerous 
dialects as, for instance, 
clover 
- 
shamrock; liquor 
- 
whiskey 
(from Irish); 
girl 
-
lass, lassie 
or 
charm - glamour 
(from Scottish). 
Last, but not least, we should mention synonymy in phraseology.

The role of borrowings should not be overestimated. Synonyms are also 
created by means of all word-forming processes productive in the language at a 
given time of its history. The words already existing in the language develop 
new meanings. New words may be formed by affixation or loss of affixes, by 
conversion, compounding, shortening and so on, and being coined, form 
synonyms to those already in use
