Best Answer

Arabic Admihr al bahr Commander of the sea

Answer Strictly speaking, admiral came from amir-al meaning "commander of..." or "emir". The bahrmeans "sea". It did not come directly to English from Arabic, but rather through the Romance languages (Latin-based) as amiralwith the "d" later added in English usage.
