The words you are asking Amin to answer are not words; they are an abbreviation to many words such as laser and microchip

The people from Europe were taught Arabic in middle ages to understand the scientific books produced by the Arab Muslims in Andalusia, and in Baghdad

In the middle ages the largest library in the world was in Baghdad before the Moguls destroyed it, Historians say that the river Euphrates became black in color due the ink of books that were thrown in the river by the Moguls.

It is shocking to find 100's of thousands of Europeans and of the late Soviet Union countries that speak Arabic.
