Two categories for the same thing[edit]

Why do the categories "Chinese terms borrowed from Arabic" and "Chinese terms derived from Arabic" both exist? 204.11.186.190 14:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Borrowed" means it directly comes from Arabic. "Derived" means it can be traced to Arabic. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 14:47, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
