Do you know any Arabic loanwords in English?

Na3am! Algebra, alchemy, coffee (I think), assassin, the numbering system, alcohol, algorithm…

There’s zenith also.. I knew about assassin, but thought algebra and chemistry came from Greek . In french we also have charabia, which means gobbledegook…

You guys are good …!
That’s right, coffee from “qahwa” though the Arabic word itself is believed to originate from another language..
Oh Petiteclaire, another one of my favourites is “échec et mat” (checkmate) from the Arabic “ash-shaykh maat” which means “the king died.”
Uhmm…what else?
