Wanderwort (noun)
wanderwort [ won-der-wawrt ]

noun
1. a loanword borrowed from one language and established in many unrelated languages, usually in a chain of adoption determined by established trade routes, and sometimes undergoing changes caused by contact with the native language of the dominant group where the word is adopted: “Tea” and “chai” are wanderworts that spread around the world as their namesake was traded, with “tea” more common along maritime routes, and “chai” the more common variant over land. | The wanderwort “cat” has forms like “qiṭṭ” in Arabic that look familiar even though Arabic and English are not related.

ORIGIN: First recorded in 1910–15; from German: literally, “wander word,” equivalent to wander(n) wander + Wort word

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.
