Etymology
Via other European languages, ultimately borrowed from Spanish tabaco, itself borrowed from a Taíno (Arawak) word meaning either “roll of tobacco leaves” or “pipe for smoking tobacco,” but apparently also merged with a pre-existing borrowing from Arabic طَبَاق (ṭabāq, “a type of medicinal herb”), found in the early 15th century as the name of various herbs. See: Spanish Nouns '
tabaco'.
