Etymology

Borrowed from Latin: arsenicum

In summary

Borrowed from Latin arsenicum, from Ancient Greek ἀρσενικόν (arsenikón, “yellow arsenic”), identified by folk etymology with ἄρσην (ársēn, “male, manly”), but actually from Semitic source, and ultimately from an Avestan term meaning "gold". More at arsenic.
