    This is one of those things where formally, sure, there’s a difference, but I’ve never heard anyone use that first term. Everything’s a loanword. And these kinds of things are in many, if not all, languages, from my attempts at learning other languages.

      Well yes, but you could say that about basically every science, not just linguistics. I can think of at least three such cases in German and more specifically German law.
