English is a voracious language. It adds new words all the time. Many of these words are invented. Often words are created by changing a word from one function to another, for instance by using a noun as a verb. At other times, words are borrowed outright from another language. This is usually a sign that the other language has words for objects or concepts unfamiliar to those who speak English and therefore difficult to express through existing vocabulary. "Cheetah", for instance, was borrowed into English from Hindi.
