the complete set of meaningful units in a language or a branch of knowledge, or words or phrases that a speaker uses
A lexicon is the complete set of words and their meanings in a language or within a specific field or subject.

A lexicon is essential for effective communication, as it provides the vocabulary necessary to express thoughts and ideas accurately and meaningfully.
(Ursprung)
Quelle
a role assigned to the entity that represents the starting point or origin of an action or movement
In linguistics, a source refers to the starting point or origin of an action or event, often indicating where something comes from. It is typically the entity from which an action moves or is derived. For example, in the sentence "She walked away from the house," "the house" serves as the source because it is the place from which she is leaving. Understanding the role of the source helps clarify how actions are expressed in sentences and how different elements relate to one another in conveying meaning.

This borrowing typically occurs when speakers of one language adopt terms from another language due to cultural exchange, trade, or technological advancement. For example, the English word "ballet" comes from French, while "piano" is derived from Italian. Loanwords can enrich a language by introducing new concepts, ideas, or objects that may not have an equivalent term in the borrowing language.

This often occurs due to cultural contact, trade, migration, or the influence of media. For example, English has borrowed numerous words from languages like French, Spanish, and Italian, such as "café," "taco," and "pizza." Borrowing can enrich a language by introducing new concepts or terms that do not have direct equivalents. The borrowed words may retain their original pronunciation and spelling, or they may be adapted to fit the phonetic and grammatical rules of the borrowing language over time.
