lute

English lute comes from Middle French lut (modern luth), from Old French leüt, probably from Old Occitan laüt, which likely comes from Arabic al-ʕūd, meaning 'wood' — probably reflecting an Andalusian or North African pronunciation.

The name traveled from Arabic through Occitan and French before settling into English, staying attached the whole way to the same stringed instrument.

Lute is a doublet of oud, lavta, and laouto — all descend from that same Arabic root, just filtered through different languages.
