Read the dictionary entry for the word "borrowing" and match the words with the countries they come from.

borrowing — a word directly taken from one

language and added to another.

Note: Although there are typically far fewer borrowings than the native words of most languages,

they are often widely known and used, since their

borrowing served a certain purpose, for example to provide a name for a new invention.
