A Linguistic Fiesta
Also A number of animal words went directly from Indian languages into Spanish and then English.Puma originated in Quechua, while jaguar comes from yaguar, a word of the Guarani who live in what is now Paraguay, and iguana is a modification of iwana, used by the Arawak and Carib of the West Indies.

Spanish and english are romance languages. We share a lot of cognates (words that sound similar) This is true for a lot of root words. Salsa is not a similar word contrary to these other individuals who have answered. It literally means sauce, not a sauce for chips only. brown sauce would be salsa moreno for instance. gasolina/gasoline, dia/day , diciembre/december noviembre/november. there are a slew of words that sound similar, get yourself a spanish/english dictionary that will give you all the words you need. ther romance languages are french, italian, and romanian spanish and english. They are all based on latin hence ROMANce. Hope that helps.
