Origin

Mid 16th century: French (earlier form of alcool), or from medieval Latin, from Arabic al-kuḥl 'the kohl'. In early use the term referred to powders, specifically kohl, and especially those obtained by sublimation; later 'a distilled or rectified spirit' (mid 17th century).

Arabic al-kuhl gave us the modern English word alcohol, but there were several changes in meaning along the way. Al in Arabic means ‘the’, and al-kuhl means ‘the kohl’, referring to a powder used as eye make-up. By extension, the term was applied to a fine powder and then to a liquid essence or spirit obtained by distillation.
