HAD BORROWED Meaning and
Definition
-
"Had borrowed" is a past perfect tense construction that refers to a specific action or event that took place in the past and was completed prior to another event in the past. It is formed by combining the past participle of the verb "to borrow" with the auxiliary verb "had."
Borrowing is the act of temporarily taking or receiving something from someone with the intention of returning or repaying it later. It involves obtaining possession or use of an item, typically money or objects, for a defined period of time. In the context of "had borrowed," it implies that the borrowing has already taken place and is no longer ongoing.
When someone says they "had borrowed" something, it suggests that they had already acquired or taken possession of an item by loaning it from someone before a specific moment in the past. The mention of "had" indicates that the borrowing occurred at an earlier time and is not a current action.
For example, if I say, "I had borrowed a book from the library before it closed," it means that I obtained the book on loan from the library prior to its closing hours. The action of borrowing the book happened earlier than the closing time, emphasizing that it was completed in the past.

Etymology of HAD BORROWED
The word had borrowed is a past perfect verb phrase consisting of the auxiliary verb had and the verb borrowed.
The word borrowed originates from the Old English word borgan, which meant to borrow or to lend. This word later evolved into borrowen in Middle English. Ultimately, borrow can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word borgiz or burgjan, which conveyed the meaning of to pledge or to put something as security.
