I think it is of moor origin(basically arabs)
English and Spanish are such rich languages made up of foreign influence

All my literate friends!

The word "hoosegow" popped up recently in some message or another, and
it makes me want to ask you if you can contribute to my list of foreign
words in English, especially ones that are misspelled.  "Hoosegow" comes
from "juzgado", which means "courthouse" in Spanish (the courthouse is
in the same building as the jail).  The English and the Spanish words
are pronounced more or less the same.

Also the homonyms contest: to find the greatest number of homonyms for a
word in English.  The highest I have been able to think of is four
(peak, peek, pique, peke) and, if you consider "I" to be a word (I, ay,
aye, eye).

Gilbert
