Actually a lot of English words which absorbs the Arabic language. We see some of them:

Admiral
    أمير Amir, commander. Amir al-Bihar = leader at sea. The word was adapted by the French to "Amiral". Then absorbed into the English language by adding the consonant "d" become admiral.

alchemy, chemistry
    الكيمياء al-Kimiya, alchemy. It is used by the peoples of Europe around the 16th century.
