Internationalism


Used to tag internationalisms, particularly those where the immediate source language is not clear. If it is, {{borrowed}} (or {{derived}}, as appropriate) should be used instead. This template should only be used in Etymology sections, and its use should be avoided in English entries.

You should always link either to the term that contains the full etymology or the term that the internationalism is based on if you use this template. Often that term is the English term, but it may also be in another language. You should prefer using the ultimate source language (the language in which the word was first used) if it is known.

A common case where this template can prove useful is with so-called international scientific vocabulary, such as words derived from Greek and Latinate roots that are adopted into a wide variety of languages with their own individual rules for adapting such loanwords.

Usage examples:

{{internationalism|fi}}; see {{cog|en|leptospirosis}}.

{{internationalism|hu}}, based on {{der|hu|la|prōiectiō}}.
