Tobacco

Etymology
1588, from tabaco:, in turn either from  طباق: (Spanish circa 1410, Arabic dating to 9th century), or from, in sense “a roll of tobacco leaves” or “a pipe for smoking tobacco”. The term is thus either an Old World term (of Arabic origin) applied to a New World plant, or a New World word.
