English borrows 'mufti' from Urdu, which borrows it from Arabic (means scholar). In colonial times many of the officers the Indian Army were Moghuls, hence they spoke Urdu.

Are 'borrowed' words ever returned? I know of none. Linguists are as bad as comp scientists at butchering my language

I guessed the regex aficionado troops would turn up to do battle. Hubby's are handy too.
