In summary

Borrowed from Italian marzacotto (second element influenced by cotto (“cooked”)), from Arabic مَسْحَقُونِيَّا (masḥaqūniyyā), from Classical Syriac ܡܫܚ ܩܘܢܝܐ (məšaḥ qūnyā, “ointment of sosa”), from ܡܫܚ (məšaḥ, “salve, unguent”) (from ܡܫܚ (məšaḥ, “to anoint”); see Hebrew מָשַׁח (māšaḥ, “to anoint”)) + Ancient Greek κονία (konía, “dust, ashes”).
