It is English, from the English word "awe", meaning amazement in the presence of something that is powerful far beyond normal. Being in the presence of a god, or a dragon, or a tornado, or a nuclear explosion might be occasions for awe. These things are awesome.

It's interesting that the word "awful" comes from the same root.

The word "awesome" originated from Old English, where it meant "awe-inspiring" or "worthy of respect." Over time, its meaning has evolved to convey something impressive or remarkable.
