Verb
[edit]loan (third-person singular simple present loans, present participle loaning, simple past and past participle loaned)
- (usually ditransitive, US, dated and occasionally proscribed in UK, informal) To lend (something) to (someone).
- 1820 June 1, William King, Letters to James Monroe: President of the United States, from William King:
- In the course of a correspondence that passed between us at this period, he mentioned, to my utter astonishment, the fact of his having loaned Neilson 81000 to buy my bill on Maryland; and stated that he could not proceed to make the payment until Neilson refunded the money.
- 1992, Carlo Ginzburg, The Cheese and the Worms: The Cosmos of a Sixteenth-Century Miller, page 30:
- All the rest—six out of eleven, more than half—were loaned to him.
- 2015, Joanne M. Flood, Wiley GAAP 2015: Interpretation and Application of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, page 574:
- Upon maturity of the debt, the investment bank returns the loaned shares.
On the date of issuance, the entity should record the loaned shares at their fair value and recognize them as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital.
Usage notes
[edit]- 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.
