Google was my friend in answering this since I know only a few Japanese words and cannot put together a complete sentence in Japanese.

Igirisu - has been translated as England, Great Britain, and United Kingdom.

The Japs cannot pronounce 'L' . So, the word "English" became igirisu in Japanese tongue.

Where did the word Assassin come from?



Hash-shashin in Arabic, refers to an ancient Ismail-Persian sect, skilled in the art of killing. (sort of Arabic Ninjas). They lived in N. Iran near Alamoot between 780-1330AD; and were also called as Nissari's. They secretly formed a society that organised political and religious murders of the noblemen of antipathetic sects.

I believe the origin is in Persian. A ruler/tribal chief in Persia used to give his mercenaries hash to get high before they went out to eliminate their enemies. The orginal word was hashasin. (I didn't need your hint btw)

Opium is of little importance in regard to these Nissari killers.

Reread the part of my sentence in parentheses where I said I didn't need your hint. I didn't know that you had even put it in until I replied quoting your post and saw the ghostwriting then.

Remember those Diazo Reactions in organic chemistry?
The word azo comes from Azure, meaning blue.
Where did Azure come from?

Ich sprech ein wenig Deutsche, enough to get by. Then I know basic words and phrases-"hello," "goodbye," "please," "thank you," etc.-of a few other European languages, Mexican Spanish and Japanese. Oh, and I can cuss people out in them, too!

The short answer I would guess is Latin, however it will have deeper roots than that. The root word might possibly be in Sanskrit, but for some reason I'm thinking Phoenecian. I will see what I can come up with.

alcool - (French, at least in Canada and therefore if not used in modern French alcool would be early French since that is the style of French spoken by Quebecois and Acadians. French Canadians please correct me if I am wrong.)
