Origin of Arroz
Origin 1: Borrowed from Spanish arroz, from Old Spanish arroz, borrowed from Andalusian Arabic روز (rawz), from Arabic *رَوْز (*rawz), from رُزّ (ruzz), borrowed from Ancient Greek ὄρυζα (óruza), from Proto-Iranian *wrinǰiš, from *wriHǰíš, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wriHǰʰíš. Doublet of rice.
Origin 2: The initial vowel of the Spanish and English words is because the specific Arabic eymon is either the definite form ar-rawz/ar-ruzz[1][2] or the variant form أَرُزّ (ʔaruzz).
