The term 'oven' originates from Sanscrit - as far as we know, but could well7 be from much earlier origins - and comes into English via Greek and Latin. It couldn't be called an Arabic term. The term 'microwave' or 'micro' simply refers to the the use of microwaves, generated by a magnetron, in cooking. The term 'micro oven' itself is part of the English language. As many English terms have gone into other languages, this has very likely happened in the case of microwave ovens, which means while the term is currently English it could also be regarded as belonging to other language systems. Its history (etymology) has no real bearing on its current usage.
