An interesting etymology:

"intelligentsia" was borrowed from Russian, which
in turn borrowed it from Latin -> French. Obviously,
English is much closer to Latin than any Slavic language.
(I understand though that intelligentsia originally
described a specific Russian elite class and therefore
conveys the intended meaning more clearly...)

So, here is my question:
How do you call words that are re-borrowed
or double-borrowed? Anybody knows other examples?

P.S. As a non-native speaker, I learned more
English words reading the board posts here than
through reading newspapers and stuff... Thanks a lot!!!

Can't think of the word you're looking for, but check out
