The origin is Arabic. Like any word that starts with "al" indicating an article in Arabic.
Alcohol specifically comes from Arabic word "al-kuḥūl" meaning "powdered antimony."
Antimony was prepared by distilling stibnite . The word was later applied to all distilled substances, and then was narrowed down to ethanol.
