Borrowing of some words is not limited to one language. Often a word is borrowed by several languages at once, and begins spreading all over the world. Words of identical origin that occur in several languages as a result of borrowing from one ultimate source are called international words.
International words play a prominent part in scientific vocabulary, terms of art, culture, sports, politics, computer technologies, and some other spheres.
Many names of sciences of Greek and Latin origin are international words: zoology, algebra, chemistry, physics, philosophy, linguistics, etc.
Terms of art are also of Greek or Latin origin: drama, comedy, tragedy, music, artist, etc.
Terms of music come from Italian: opera, duet, soprano, etc.
Many sports terms come from English: match, hockey, tennis, football, basket-ball, etc.
Some international words that come from English denote clothing: pullover, sweater, nylon, tweed, jersey, etc.
Fruits and foodstuffs imported from exotic countries have also become a source of international vocabulary: grapefruit, banana, mango, cocoa, coffee, chocolate, etc.
Finally, some political terms belonging to the stock of international words must be mentioned: democracy, politics, progress, revolution, communism, capitalism, etc.
