A.Word.A.Day --camarilla
A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg On my morning walk, I came across an old table and some chairs on the sidewalk. A sign was taped to the furniture: My Spanish vocabulary isn't as extensive as I'd like it to be, but something about the sign didn't sound right. LIBRE reminded me of liberty and I felt this wasn't the meaning the homeowner had intended. But I believe we must give the other person the benefit of the doubt, so my interpretation is that the furniture is not only FREE (as in free beer), but also FREE (as in freedom). But you don't have to know Spanish to understand (some) Spanish. This week we'll see five other words borrowed from Spanish that may not be as common. camarilla (kam-uh-RIL-uh, Spanish: kah-mah-REE-yah) noun: A group of confidential scheming advisers. From Spanish, diminutive of cámara (chamber), from Latin camera (room), from Greek kamara (an object with an arched cover). See more usage examples of camarilla in Vocabulary.com's dictionary.

Words in English: Loanwords
Words in English public websiteLing/Engl 215 course informationRice UniversityProf. S. Kemmer Major Periods of Borrowing in the History of English Loanwords are words adopted by the speakers of one language from a different language (the source language). Borrowing is a consequence of cultural contact between two language communities. The actual process of borrowing is complex and involves many usage events (i.e. instances of use of the new word). Those who first use the new word might use it at first only with speakers of the source language who know the word, but at some point they come to use the word with those to whom the word was not previously known. However, in time more speakers can become familiar with a new foreign word. Conventionalization is a gradual process in which a word progressively permeates a larger and larger speech community. English has gone through many periods in which large numbers of words from a particular language were borrowed. I. II. Latin Celtic III. Church
