外来語 (gairaigo) replaced by Japanese word?


Are there cases where gairaigo used in every day speech (`パン`, `アイスクリーム`,
etc...) have been ousted by native Japanese words?




I can't think of any cases where this is the case. However, there is a current
trend, particularly in business, to use _waseigo_ or _gairaigo_ to appear more
"educated". So going forward, one could assume that there are going to be more
words replaced by their _waseigo_ or _gairaigo_ equivalent.

There are cases where there is a _gairaigo_ , but the Chinese word is what is
used in Japanese, like "baseball". Though I'm not sure what the timeline is
for 「ベースボール」 being replaced by 「野球」.
