Template:phono-semantic matching

Phono-semantic matching of translingual term


This template adds entries to categories such as Category:Chinese phono-semantic matchings. It should generally go in the Etymology section of a term. Phono-semantic matching is a special type of borrowing where existing morphemes are selected to match both pronunciation and definition of a foreign term.
