Thanks. Yeah I was a bit worried this figure was a bit busy and hard to match up each company with its respective data.

Adobe 1739, American English, from Spanish adobe "unburnt brick dried in the sun," which is said by 19c. Dutch Arabist Reinhart Dozy to be from oral form of Arabic al-tob "the brick," from Coptic tube "brick," a word found in hieroglyphics.
Other sources point to a Spanish adobar "daub, plaster," from the source of English daub (v.) late 14c., dauben, "to smear with soft, adhesive matter, to plaster or whitewash a wall"
canoe (n.) "light boat propelled by hand-held paddle or paddles," 1550s, originally in a West Indian context, from Spanish canoa, a word used by Columbus, from Arawakan (Haiti) canaoua.
French, from New Latin canoa, from Spanish, from Arawakan, of Cariban origin; akin to Carib kana:wa canoe. First Known Use: 1555. The Spanish spelling finally settled down on canoa about 1600.

Cocoa, chocolate, canoe, tobacco, and potato, at least, maybe others, are of indigenous origin. Native to the americas. The Spanish colonized them and changed their pronunciation and spelling to match their dialect.

Even then, a few of these words came more directly from different romance languages, like the French "croisade." This is moreso a list of English words whose presence in the English language was influenced by Spanish at some point.

Six of those employers are Chinese, and most of those are part of China's government in some way.

In this context, origin is not the same thing as originator. I looked up every one of these words, and, in every instance, the references cited usage in the Spanish Language. It could be that the French Language acquired many of them at about the same time and from the same or from another source.

But in both of my examples it wasn't any Spanish speaking country, but Spain that took a native word like for potato.
And if you are doing word origin, yes most Spanish words came from Spain.
But this is silly because almost all these same words were adopted by French before becoming English words.
So why the fuck are you arbitrarily stopping in the chain English French Spanish (some Caribbean language)

I am sorry that any of this is displeasing. I would fully agrees with anyone who claims that many, if not the majority, of the listed words were not invented by people who identify as Spanish speakers. Regarding the chart though, the word "origin" is not intended to mean the inventor of a particular word. The intention is to refer to the most direct source or the source of the most direct parent word. Also, the term "Spanish" is intended to refer to the Spanish Language and not Spain.

Also it looks like they’re 4.3 and 13.2 which certainly do not add to 20.5

Ah fair. But it also covers Northern Ireland, which has been forgotten about, as usual.

This is because, for some reason that is probably explainable but I don't know, the seed of the cacao tree is the cocoa bean.

There are spanish words of arabic, germanic and romance origin... and some of amerindian origin
And that hapens to english french and most modern languages
so is it wrong to say that english language loaned a spanish word which is the version of a word loaned by the spanish from latin, amerindian or german that also those amerindians or germans latins or arabs may had made it theirs being loaned from who knows all the way to ancient languages?
