if that word is unaltered (and fairly new), it’s a foreign word, not exactly a loan word.
clichÃ© … well … i guess most people would say it’s already a loan word. i’d argue against that.
there are words in english used with diacritics although english doesn’t have them. to me that means that those words are not modified, or adapted, enough to be loan words. so, i’d see “clichÃ©” (with accent aigu) as a foreign word.
as i said, you could argue about that. it’s probably the same question as, can planes fly, or can ships swim.

hello sweet Marina

I have a word request

I would like to know the origins of the word “salt”

it has something to do with the greek word “alas” that went on to the Romans – and as the Roman soldiers were paid with salt it became the english word “salt” and “salary”

interesting,right?

thank you!
