Definition
借宿 means 'to stay overnight at someone else's place' — you're crashing or sleeping over temporarily, not paying for a hotel. It's a separable verb (离合词): 借 is the verb and 宿 is the noun, so you can insert measure words or duration between them, like 借了一宿 ('stayed one night') or 借过两宿 ('stayed two nights before'). The pattern is Subject + 在 + person/place + 借宿 or Subject + 借 + quantity + 宿.
v.o.
to stay overnight at someone else's home (temporarily)
