Also, this isn't unique to English. Lots of languages adopt words and old words get new usages and contexts. The reason scientists use Latin so often is because it is a dead language so that the ideas of science will only change with the science and not with the language.
So any way... where does Kata come from? It is pretty obvious that no one can find it beyond the English adopted word. | In the "circles" of martial art terms and etymology, many come from mainland China, though China has adapted some from Sanskrit.
Even Korea adopted Chinese as well as Jaoabese.
