technically from persian, not arabic
Depending on what you mean by technically from. According to m-w it's from Arabic through Persian. I've seen wordlists of this sort that would list a word like carboy as being from Arabic if that's the language they're featuring or from Persian if that's the one and then turn around and list some word that came from Persian through Arabic and claim that as their own, as well.
