Origin of English?!


Origin of English?!
  When I was going through an Oxford dictionary 10 years ago, I came to know that  the origin of  Man and Sandalwood are from Sanskrit (scanned parts of the same are copied here).  After that I started collecting the words originated from Sanskrit and to my surprise there were many and I am listing them here.
