"borrowed meaning" is a rather unhelpful definition.
I wouldn't know what it means if I didn't already know what 假借義 means.

See LA etc., and Wp:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_character_classification#Rebus_(phonetic_loan)_characters
Diff:
- 假借義 假借义 [jia3 jie4 yi4] /borrowed meaning/
+ 假借義 假借义 [jia3 jie4 yi4] /the meaning of a phonetic loan character 假借字[jia3 jie4 zi4] acquired from a similar-sounding word (e.g. 而[er2] originally meant "beard" but acquired the meaning "and")/
