Checkmate
This is a term in chess. It is from the Farsi language spoken in Iran
and Afghanistan. The original phrase is
SHAH-K-MATE
(every syllable pronounced) which means "The King is Dead".
The word SHAH means a "king" as in the last monarch (or SHAH) of Iran.
MATE has the same root as the English "murder" and the Spanish
"matador" (killer).
The word came via French (where the SH became a CH) and into English
where the MA-TE (two syllables) became MATE (one syllable) to give
CHECKMATE.
