Borrowed Words

I was looking at words in english and found a list of words I didn’t know were borrowed from Asian languages.

Ketchup
Kowtow
Pidgin

Tycoon

Monsoon
Typhoon

Rickshaw
Chi

Soy
Tea

boondock

well, some of those should have been obvious, but I didn’t know either the actual definition, or they are just the products that I knew are from that region and didn’t think about the name coming from there.
