Etymology

Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]外来語 • (gairaigo) ←ぐわいらいご (gwairaigo)?
- [1895] (linguistics) a "recent"[2] loanword, a Japanese word that has been borrowed since the modernization of Japan during the Meiji era from a modern foreign language, especially a European one; compare 借用語 (shakuyōgo, “borrowing, loanword”, refers more broadly to borrowings over roughly the past half-millenium)
