I was just watching a television programme using the word katsu meaning curry, which I clearly remember it means cutlet. So I looked it up, katsu is cutlet, a loan word from some European languages. Fried cutlet was a European influenced food, and was eaten with an array of sauce, aka gloop, before it settles with a thick mild curry sauce now.
When a word is loaned more than once, it means nothing like what it started out!
