Loan

/ləʊn/

ऋण; कर्ज़; उधार (दिया/लिया गया धन या वस्तु)

Origin & History

From Middle English lo(o)n, from Old Norse lán (“a loan”), related to Germanic roots meaning “to lend/let.”

मध्य अंग्रेज़ी lo(o)n से, जो पुरानी नॉर्स lán (“ऋण/उधार”) से आया; यह जर्मैनिक मूलों से संबंधित है जिनका अर्थ “उधार देना/देना” के आसपास है।

Definition

A loan is money, property, or an item that is given to someone to use now but must be returned (or repaid) later—sometimes with interest; it can also mean the act of lending or the permission/arrangement to borrow something.

ऋण/कर्ज़ वह धन, संपत्ति या वस्तु है जो किसी को अभी उपयोग के लिए दी जाती है लेकिन बाद में लौटानी या चुकानी होती है—कभी-कभी ब्याज के साथ; यह उधार देने की क्रिया या किसी वस्तु को उधार लेने की अनुमति/व्यवस्था का भी अर्थ हो सकता है।
