Cat:English twice-borrowed terms to Cat:English terms borrowed back into English (and similarly for all other languages)

It has been pointed out that the term "twice-borrowed" is Wiktionary jargon and sees little to no use outside our site. Moreover, it is open to misunderstanding; many doublets could equally be described as "twice borrowed", even though that is not we mean by the term.

Possibly Category:English terms derived from English through another language? Or is it too wordy? — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 20:14, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

That could also work. I am fine with either name. - -sche (discuss) 21:49, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
