"One morning in class, Rifaat taught the word for “mud brick.” In ancient hieroglyphs it was djebet, which became tobe in Coptic, and then the Arabs, adding a definite article, made it al-tuba, which was brought to Spain as adobar, and then to the American Southwest, where this heavy thing, having been lugged across four millennia and seven thousand miles, finally landed as “adobe.”"
This sort of historical word flow was what piqued my interest and led me to study in linguistics. Unfortunately Ancient Egyptian has very few words that made it into other languages, which is strange considering their longevity. Familiar terms about them mostly come mostly from Ancient Greek (e.g. pyramid was mr https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mr) and some from Arabic (e.g. mummy).
Another such borrowing is the Arabic word for oasis, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oasis#Etymology
