Across languages.
Many other languages too have words that have similar meaning and sounds as words found in Sanskrit.
Its best not to go into debates who took from whom but just enjoy a world sans borders because as humans evolved cross cultural exchange of words took place and many words became staple even in our mother tongues.
For example we tend to use the word Waris to mean heir/inheritor even in Tamil but its not a Sanskrit word or even a Tamil word to start with ....Waris is Arabic(وارث)..also pronounced as Warith.
So what is the actual Sanskrit word for Heir/Inheritor?
Well...its अधिकारी(adhikArI).
Now lets focus on a word that has cut across two languages.
Pen!
Yes...a pen.
In Sanskrit its called कलमः( kalamaH) and in Arabic its called قلم (qalam)
