Usage Note

Sometimes mistakenly identified as an Americanism, loan1 as a verb meaning 鈥渢o lend鈥 has been used in English for nearly 800 years: Nearby villages loaned clothing and other supplies to the flood-ravaged town. The occasional objections to loan as a verb referring to things other than money, are comparatively recent. Loan is standard in all contexts but is perhaps most common in financial ones: The government has loaned money to farmers to purchase seed.
