A borrowed word that has been adapted to resemble English is known as a loanword. This typically involves modifying the pronunciation, spelling, or form of the original word to better align with English phonetic patterns and orthographic conventions. Loanwords often result from language contact and cultural exchange between different linguistic communities.
