Middle English chek [check in chess]
中古英语 chek [国际象棋中的将军]
from Old French eschec
源自 古法语 eschec
from Arabic sh3h
源自 阿拉伯语 sh3h
from Persian [king, king in chess] * see shah
源自 波斯语 [国王，国际象棋中的.国王.] *参见 shah

【引伸】
check.able
adj.（形容词）
<注释>The wordscheck , chess , and shah are all related. Shah, as one might think, is a borrowing into English of the Persian title for the monarch of that country.The Persian wordsh3h was also a term used in chess, a game played in Persia long before it was introduced to Europe.One saidsh3h as a warning when the opponent`s king was under attack. The Persian word in this sense,after passing through Arabic,probably Old Spanish, and then Old French,came into Middle English aschek about seven hundred years ago. Chess itself comes from a plural form of the Old French word that gave us the word check. Checkmate, the next stage after check, goes back to the Arabic phrasesh3h m3t, meaning .the king is stymied..Through a complex development having to do with senses that evolved from the notion of checking the king,check came to mean something used to ensure accuracy or authenticity. One such means was a counterfoil, a part of a check, for example,retained by the issuer as documentation of a transaction.Check first meant .counterfoil. and then came to mean anything,such as a bill or bank draft, with a counterfoil—or eventually even without one.
单词check ， chess 和 shah 是互相关联的。 Shah 就象有人可能想象的那样， 是英语里的外来词，原指波斯国王的称号。波斯词语shah 也是国际象棋中的术语， 国际象棋在被引进欧洲之前早就在波斯流传。当对手的.国王.受到攻击时我们说shah 作为一种警告。 这个意义的波斯单词，通过阿拉伯语，可能还有古西班牙语和后来的古法语，大约在七百年前被收入中世纪英语中chek 。 Chess 本身来自于古法语 check 的复数形式。 Checkmate ，是 check 的下一步， 来自于阿拉伯短语shah mat， 意思是.国王进退两难.。从对.国王.将军这个概念演化而来，check 的含义经历了复杂的发展过程，它后来指用以确保准确性或真实性的某种东西。 例如，其中一个含义是指作为支票的一部分的存根，由签发支票的人保留作为交易的单据。Check 最初是指.存根.， 后来指任何有存根的东西，如帐单或银行汇票等，最后甚至指没有存根的东西
