dengue

The word entered English in 1828 from West Indian Spanish dengue, which came from Kiswahili dinga (short for kidingapopo or kidinga pepo), meaning a sudden cramp-like seizure caused by an evil spirit.

When the Kiswahili word was borrowed into Spanish, it shifted in spelling to dengue because that word already existed in Spanish meaning 'fastidiousness' — a folk connection made because sufferers of chikungunya, which was also once called dengue until the early 20th century, disliked moving.

The facts given don't support a connection to any other English word.
