Calque (aka loan translation)is more than just any semantic borrowing. It's translating a combination literally and then using the translation to mean what the combination means in the original language, rather than just taking over the foreign word. An example in English is the word gospel,which comes from the OE godspel = good news, a calque of the Greek euanggelion = good news (hence the word evangelist).
