mosque

English mosque comes from Middle French mosquée, from Italian moschea, ultimately from Arabic masjid, literally 'place of prostration.'

The word passed from Arabic through Italian and then Middle French before settling into English, picking up new spelling and pronunciation at each stop while keeping its core meaning as a place of worship.

Mosque is a doublet of masjid, the direct English borrowing of the same Arabic word — two English words, one shared Arabic root.
