"A leveraged loan is a type of loan that is extended to companies or individuals that already have considerable amounts of debt or poor credit history. Lenders consider leveraged loans to carry a higher risk of default, and as a result, a leveraged loan is more costly to the borrower"

 

from [2]

"LEVERAGED LOANS are at first sight a tautology. They are simply loans, usually arranged by a syndicate of banks, to companies that already owe a lot. Most are issued in America and are then packaged into “collateralised loan obligations”, legal entities managed by private-equity firms, hedge funds and others, which slice up the loans and apportion them to their investors to suit those investors’ taste for risk."
