HAS BORROWED Meaning and
Definition
-
"Has borrowed" is the present perfect tense of the verb "to borrow." It is a phrase used to describe an action that started in the past and continues up to the present moment, emphasizing both the past occurrence and the relevance to the present situation.
The verb "to borrow" refers to the act of taking or obtaining something, often temporarily, with the intention of returning or repaying it. It involves the usage of someone else's property, typically in a mutual agreement or understanding.
"Has borrowed" suggests that the subject, typically a person or entity, engaged in the act of borrowing at some point in the past and that the effects or consequences of this action are still relevant or ongoing. It conveys a sense of continuity or connection from the past to the present.
For example, if someone says, "She has borrowed my book," it means that she took the book from the speaker at a previous time and still possesses it now. Furthermore, it implies that the book is currently being used, or that the borrower has not yet returned it.
In summary, "has borrowed" indicates a past borrowing action that persists in the present, highlighting both the previous act of obtaining something and its ongoing significance.

Etymology of HAS BORROWED
The phrase "has borrowed" is not a standalone word but a combination of two words: "has" and "borrowed".
The word "has" is the third-person singular present tense of the verb "have". Its etymology can be traced back to Old English, where it was spelled as "hæfþ". Over time, it evolved, and the spelling and pronunciation changed to "has" in modern English. The word "have" originally comes from the Old English word "habban".
The word "borrowed" is the past participle form of the verb "borrow". The etymology of "borrow" can be traced back to the Old English word "borgian", meaning "to borrow" or "to lend". It shares similarities with the Old High German word "borgon" and the Gothic word "bairgan", both carrying the same meaning.
