The only word which comes to us from Ancient Egypt (apart from words to do with Egyptology) is alchemy. (Al Arabic article + chemy < Kmt Egyptian word for Egypt).
However, your reference is from the works of Gerald Massey, a 19th century theosophist. At the time he was writing it was anthropological orthodoxy that all civilisation derived from Egypt. Most, if not all, anthropologists do not subscribe to that theory now.
