[…] ‘loanwords are almost always free forms’ (words or phrases); bound forms are borrowed as such only with extreme rarity.
- Hockett (1958), Pag. 409

The borrower may adopt the donor’s word along with the object or practice: the new form in the borrower’s speech is then a ‘loanword’.
- Hockett (1958), Pag. 408
