The opposite of the phrase "has borrowed" is "has lent." The term refers to the act of giving something to someone temporarily, expecting it to be returned eventually. Unlike borrowing, lending involves taking on responsibility for the item loaned out. Another antonym for "has borrowed" is "has owned," which means possessing an object outright and not needing to borrow it from someone else. When an individual owns something, they have complete control over it and can use it whenever they desire. Therefore, while borrowing and lending are temporary transactions, owning is a permanent state of possession.

• I am of course aware that there were other influences on Scott besides medieval literature and that sometimes there are alternative sources for a particular motif or detail or point of style. I cannot always pin Scott down to a medieval source to the exclusion of other possible sources. In such cases it is altogether conceivable that three or four or more literary works from different periods of literary history were on his mind at the same time. If so, I am inclined to believe that medieval romance weighed most heavily because of his utter fascination with literature of this sort during his formative years. Although he also read widely in other literature at an early age, ballads and old romances were his passion. ...I point out what Scott has borrowed and show how he has used the borrowing. When he has covered his tracks, I cannot always say which romance is involved... but the accumulation of interesting parallels provides good circumstantial evidence in support of my belief that medieval romance is the most important source for the Waverly Novels.
