While these words entered English from Spanish, they aren’t of Spanish origin. Hurricane is Taino in origin and many of these words have native origins.

Also barbecue: "The English word barbecue and its cognates in other languages come from the Indigenous Taino word barbacoa. Etymologists believe this to be derived from barabicu found in the language of the Arawak people of the Caribbean and the Timucua people of Florida"

None of these surprise me except for canoe. What did the native Americans call their boats? Can't remember.

Besides what everyone else said, I don't think adobe is even used in the same context as Spanish. Most mentions are probably referring to the company or products of Adobe in some way, shape, or form.

Crimson is of Spanish origin? What word does it come from?
It translates to “carmesí” from Spanish, but it seems like a leap.
