ABSTRACT
In this paper, the light will be shed on the words that English has borrowed from other languages and the words that are borrowed from the English language. The reasons for borrowing will be explained and special emphasis will be put on Anglicisms that have become a part of the Croatian language.
Unlike other languages which enrich their vocabulary by direct mapping from the English language, the English language had to come up with new word coins and had to create its own abbreviations and acronyms. The words scuba and laser are acronyms and radar and smog are so-called portmanteau words (Filipović, 1996), which are created by combining 2 words (smog = smoke and fire or lunch = breakfast and lunch). However, prior to the creation of the above-mentioned portmanteau words or acronyms, English had to find its way around to describe, for example, authentic nature. Berries are described by the words nut and berry; the exotic nuts such as coconut and peanut are named by the analogy with walnut and chestnut. The words grapefruit, eggplant, blackbird and dandelion were descriptively created. The word fly had become a synonym for something that flies, but also a suffix for the flying bugs or fireflies or it can be etymologically associated with butter, as in the word butterfly. The word fish has been used with other animals that are not related to fish such as jellyfish or crayfish (Kovačić, 2007).
