Is it true that the English language word sugar comes from the Arabic word sukkar?
Yes. Arabic loaned many words to Spanish and other latin-based languages during the Caliphate's conquoring of southern Europe. These words inturn, loaned to English.
Suquar is the Arabic word for sugar.
This is also evident in many other words, such as alcohol, chemistry, tennis, blouse and many biblically derived words, such as "Amen" (although these religious words most likely came from different semitic languages such as Aramaic)
