When to use

Thus, the English aberration was learnedly borrowed from the Latin aberrātiō, first attested 1594, well after Latin was spoken commonly, and as such classified as a learned borrowing. Compare this to the case of French penalty, which was borrowed from English almost unconsciously, due to the massive influence of English in sports world.
