The word monsoon is considered to be derived from a word of which language?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Arabic

The direct answer is A: the word monsoon is considered to come from Arabic. It is commonly linked with the Arabic word mausim, meaning season or a particular time of the year. Step by step, traders and travellers used this idea for winds that changed with the seasons, especially around the Indian Ocean; the term later entered other languages, including English. Option A is correct because Arabic is the accepted origin in standard school geography. Option B is wrong because the word is not derived from Latin. Option C is wrong because Chinese is not the usual source given for this term. Option D is wrong because Greek is also not the accepted origin. The origin of a word is different from the scientific explanation of monsoon winds, so do not confuse language history with climate causes. Memory cue: monsoon is linked to Arabic mausim, meaning season.
