ball
⚽ Borrowed from English ball: bo-ru is ball said in Japanese sounds
ボール is a loanword from English, so it is written in katakana. Japanese has no final L sound, so ball becomes booru, with a long o and an r-like sound. The same reading also covers the English word bowl, like a mixing bowl or salad bowl.
