It's funny how "delicatessen" in German is "Feinkost" and "double entendre" in French is "double sens". (Though sure, both world be understood in French/German.) Does anyone else know any other "loan words" which were not just loaned, but stolen?

You're probably right about the timing aspect. "Home office" in the 90s likely meant a physical workstation at home - cable/modem internet, printer, landline phone, fax... Whereas none of this is required for today's WFH.
Yes, that makes a lot of sense... my father had all of those things in his home office!
