Vis a vis budget being a mongrel word that went into english from french, was transformed and then went back into french with a new sense, when the Romans conquered England, many Latin words came into English, of course, but several English words went into Latin and then came back into English as Latin words. I simply don't understand why the French get upset when words from other languages enter theirs.
