does wine word arabic
Let me put on my etymology hat. And pay attention, because there are plenty of crossword answers below. Wine comes from the Old English word win (which is pronounced like wean). The Old English form was descended from the Latin vinum, or as the Romans wrote it, VINVM.. Vinum in Latin seems to be related to the Latin word for vineyard, vinea.. But I've also read that vinum can mean vine in Latin too.
