English Words That Come From Arabic

Many everyday English words came from Arabic, often through Spanish or Italian. Sugar comes from sukkar. Cotton from qutn. Algebra from al-jabr. Magazine from makhazin, meaning storehouses. Sofa from suffa, a raised platform. Even admiral comes from amir, commander. Trade and scholarship carried these words into Europe.
