calque

v. form a word or expression using the process of loan translation

n. loan translation, word or expression introduced to one language as a direct literal translation from another language

In linguistics, a calque (pronounced ) or loan translation is a word or phrase borrowed from another language by literal, "word-for-word" (Latin: "verbum pro verbo") or root-for-root translation. The common English phrase "flea market" is a phrase calque that literally translates the French "marché aux puces" [1]Going in the other direction, from English to French, provides an example of how a compound word may be calqued by first breaking it down into its component roots. The French "gratte-ciel" is a word-coinage inspired by the model of the English "skyscraper" — "gratter" literally translates "scrape", and "ciel" translates "sky".
