Translations

Verb

loan (third-person singular simple present loans, present participle loaning, simple past and past participle loaned)

1. (usually ditransitive, US, dated and occasionally proscribed in UK, informal) To lend (something) to (someone).

Usage notes

• This usage, once widespread in the UK, is now confined to the US (or perhaps parts thereof). The use of loan as a verb is occasionally disapproved of, especially when the object being lent is something other than money; as a consequence, lend is often preferred.
