List of English words of Spanish origin

DbpediaThing

Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

It is a list of English language words whose origin can be traced to the Spanish language as "Spanish loan words". Many of them are identical in other Romance languages (mainly Portuguese or Italian), but their passage into English is believed to be through Spanish.Most these words came to English from Castilian and American Spanish dialects, which in turn got them from various sources including English ("turista").However many of the words contained in the list are not used by native English speakers today. For example native English speakers use the term 'goodbye' rather than 'adios' as incorrectly stated below.
