Semite comes from the word Semitic. Semitic is a family of languages that originated in the Middle East and North Africa, including Hebrew. Although this is a very broad definition, the meaning of the word has narrowed to mean Jewish in contemporary usage, just as the word Gentile, which means foreigner, has come to mean someone who is not a Jew.
