There are probably a few, because some mathematical, chemical, and item terms in English derive originally from Arabic words. (Chemistry comes from al-Kimia, Algebra comes from al-Jabr, Admiral from Amir al-Bahr, Cotton from the al-Qoton, Apricot from al-Barqoq, etc.) Conversely, many modern and physics terms in Arabic derive originally from English words. (al-Elektron comes from Electron, al-Kombyuter comes Computer, at-Telfiziyun comes from Television, al-Mol comes from Mol, etc.)

Arabic for "alcohol", for example, is "al-kahul", which literally means related to "kohl" -- a dark pigment used in male eyeshadow.
