Hi Paul. You mentioned the Japanese word "manto" comes from the French word "manteau".
In that particular case, I have also seen research suggesting that the word was borrowed from the Portuguese word "manto".
Of course, since both French and Portuguese are Romance languages and share many cognate words, it isn't always easy to tell the source of the loan word.

My personal favourite is 「アルバイト」 (a-ru-ba-i-to), which means ‘part-time job’ and comes from the German Arbeit (f).
I like to believe some Japanese person took up what’s considered full-time employment in a German-speaking country, was bid a ’Schönen Feierabend!’ by their boss at 17:00 and nearly died of laughter before realising they were being serious. 😅
